TL;DR: The results revealed that the alkali phosphatase (AL-P) activity of the pellets was elevated only in those of the bone morphogenetic protein group, and the increase in bone mineral density was the most remarkable in the bone Morphogenetic Protein group rather than the control group.

TL;DR: Postoperative administration of bFGF inhibited hypertrophic scarring and widening of remaining scars without any serious side effects.

TL;DR: It is increased the likelihood that film or hydrocolloid dressings will be used more frequently in the future for treatment of burn wounds, ulcers or donor-site wounds since these dressings were shown to be more capable of retaining cytokines, particularly intrinsic growth factors secreted at the wound site.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional (3D) deformities in patients with congenital facial anomalies, such as cleft lip and palate or hemifacial microsomia, are studied using 3D CT images and the 'skeletograms', which present deformities of craniofacial bones in detail as a 3D wire frame model, are prepared for detailed analysis of the cranioFacial bones' deformities.

TL;DR: The results confirm the clinical usefulness of gene therapy for bone formation, using the BMP-2 gene combined with cationic liposomes as a vector and it is possible that the effects of administering the B MP-2 genes will be improved by specializing the microstructure of scaffold for gene therapy.
