## Abstract The acellular nerve graft that can provide internal structure and extracellular matrix components of the nerve is an alternative for repair of peripheral nerve defects. However, results of the acellular nerve grafting for nerve repair still remain inconsistent. This study aimed to inves

Abstract
Tissue engineering of autologous bone combined with osteoprogenitor cells is a suitable strategy for filling large bone defects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteogenicity of a xenogenic bone graft cultured with allogenic bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) in a mouse critical size craniotomy. Bovine trabecular bone grafts were made free of bone marrow cells or debris and were delipidated. BMSC were harvested from C57BL/6‐Tg(ACTbEGFP)1Osb/J mice (GFP^+^ cells) and were cultured 14 days on bone grafts in control or osteogenic medium. Engineered grafts were implanted in calvarial defect in C57BL/6 mice. Four groups were studied: graft with BMSC differentiated in osteoblasts (G‐Ob), graft with BMSC (G‐BMSC), graft without cells (G) and no graft. Calvariae were studied 2 and 8 weeks after implantation by radiographic and histomorphometric analyses. G group: the bone ingrowth was limited to the edges of the defect. The center of the graft was filled by a fibrovascular connective tissue. G‐BMSC or G‐Ob groups: bone formation occurred early in the center of the defect and did not increase between 2 and 8 weeks; the newly formed woven bone was partially replaced by lamellar bone. The preoperative osteoblastic differentiation of BMSC did not allow faster and better bone regeneration. After 2 weeks, GFP^+^ cells were observed around the grafted bone but no GFP^+^ osteocyte was present in the newly formed bone. No GFP^+^ cell was noted after 8 weeks. However, pre‐implantation culture of the biomaterial with allogenic BMSC greatly enhanced the bone regeneration. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 2009
