Figure 6From: Utilization of a genetically modified muscle flap for local BMP-2 production and its effects on bone healing: a histomorphometric and radiological study in a rat modelBMP-2 expression in tissue samples. BMP-2 expression in the transfected flap on postoperative day 3 was compared to a sample from the contralateral quadriceps. Both flaps showed increased BMP-2 levels compared to the contralateral quadriceps and the flap of control animals.Back to article page
