Journal ArticleDOI

Progenitor cell trafficking is regulated by hypoxic gradients through HIF-1 induction of SDF-1

TL;DR: It is shown that SDF-1 gene expression is regulated by the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in endothelial cells, resulting in selective in vivo expression of S DF-1 in ischemic tissue in direct proportion to reduced oxygen tension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topical vascular endothelial growth factor accelerates diabetic wound healing through increased angiogenesis and by mobilizing and recruiting bone marrow-derived cells.

TL;DR: Topical VEGF is able to improve wound healing by locally up-regulating growth factors important for tissue repair and by systemically mobilizing bone marrow-derived cells, including a population that contributes to blood vessel formation, and recruiting these cells to the local wound environment where they are able to accelerate repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical strain alters gene expression in an in vitro model of hypertrophic scarring.

TL;DR: Results suggest that mechanical strain up-regulates matrix remodeling genes and down-regulate normal cellular apoptosis, resulting in more cells, each of which produces more matrix, which may underlie the pathophysiology of hypertrophic scars and other fibrotic processes in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uniaxial Mechanical Strain : An In Vitro Correlate to Distraction Osteogenesis

TL;DR: Uniaxial cyclic strain using the Flexcell device under appropriate strain parameters provides a novel in vitro model that induces osteoblast cellular and molecular expression patterns that simulate patterns observed in the in vivo distraction gap.
Journal ArticleDOI

Posterior cranial vault expansion using distraction osteogenesis

TL;DR: Posterior cranial vault distraction offers several benefits over traditional expansion procedures, and the several advantages, diverse utility, and technicalities of the operative procedure are highlighted.
