Porcine Allograft Mandible Revitalization Using Autologous Adipose-Derived Stem Cells, Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2, and Periosteum

Abstract

These data demonstrate revitalization of large-volume allograft bone, and have positive implications for bone tissue engineering. Allograft revitalization in thoracic but not abdominal constructs reinforces the critical role of the periosteum in the process.
