Do autologous bone grafts with MSCs or FGF-2 accelerate bone union in large bone defects?
These data suggest that autologous bone grafts in combination with MSCs benefit difficult cases which cannot be treated with autologous bone grafts alone.
The findings demonstrate that MCP-1 is produced in isolated human adipocytes. In addition, the findings suggest that MCP-1 may be involved in obesity-related health complications and support the hypothesis that weight loss is beneficial by improving the low-grade inflammation observed in obesity.
