External fixation of femoral defects in athymic rats: Applications for human stem cell implantation and bone regeneration
An appropriate animal model is critical for the research of stem/progenitor cell therapy and tissue engineering for bone regeneration in vivo. This study reports the design of an external fixator and its application to critical-sized femoral defects in athymic rats. The external fixator consists of...
