Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a polypeptide found in a variety of tissues, including bone, where it could act as an autologous regulator of skeletal remodeling. Therefore, a recombinant B chain homodimer of human PDGF was studied for its effects on bone formation in cultured rat calvariae

## Abstract This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the mechanical properties of a trabecular bone substitute can be enhanced through __in vitro__ tissue formation. Our specific objectives were to (1) determine the effects of __in vitro__ marrow stromal cellβmediated tissue deposition u
Zinc is essential for the growth of the human and other animals. Bone growth retardation is a common finding in various conditions associated with zinc deficiency, suggesting a physiological role of zinc in the growth and mineralization of bone tissue. Bone zinc content is decreased by development w
Improved tolerance of splenectomized patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) to radiotherapy and chemotherapy has been reported. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of splenectomy and nitrogen mustard (NM) on colony-forming cells (CFC's) of bone marrow cells obtained from CF, male
## Abstract Denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody to RANKL, decreases bone remodeling, increases bone density, and reduces fracture risk. This study evaluates the time course and determinants of bone turnover marker (BTM) response during denosumab treatment, the percentage of denosumabβtreat
