## Background: Periodontal ligament (pl) width is precisely maintained throughout the lifetime of adult mammals, but the biological mechanisms that regulate the spatial locations of the cell populations for bone, cementum, and pl are unknown. ## Methods: As bisphosphonates induce ankylosis in mou
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: To investigate the expression of genes coding transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β1, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and c‐Met, its membrane‐spanning tyrosine kinase receptor, during the inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling phases of wound healing in the
## Abstract Growth factors IGF‐I and TGF‐β1 are known to stimulate fracture healing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of locally applied IGF‐I and TGF‐β1 during the early phase of fracture healing (Days 5, 10, and 15 after fracture) on cellular processes like proliferation and
