Bone Abstracts

All biological tissues, including bone, require vascular support to survive. In fact, bone is a highly vascularized tissue, although this aspect of bone is often overlooked. Extensive work has demonstrated that the blood vessels in bone are necessary for nearly all skeletal functions, including development, homeostasis, and repair. In addition, blood vessels lost due to trauma regenerate, and new bone tissue formed in response to injury is aggressively vascularized. As a conse...
