Vascular endothelial growth factor regulates osteoblast survival – evidence for an autocrine feedback mechanism

BACKGROUND: Apoptosis of osteoblasts and osteoclasts regulates bone homeostasis. Skeletal injury in humans results in 'angiogenic' responses primarily mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), a protein essential for bone repair in animal models. Osteoblasts release VEGF in res...
