Limb lengthening by gradual mechanical distraction, termed distraction osteogenesis (DO), results in new bone formation. We have developed a rat tibial model for DO and have proceeded to study the effects of nutrition on this process. We have combined the intragastric diet delivery system of total e
The role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the control of smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation was explored in vitro by examining its effects on expression of the smooth muscle (SM) specific contractile protein SM alpha actin in cultured rat aortic SMC. Quiescent, postconfluent SMC exp
