Does rat granulation tissue maturation involve gap junction communications?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Distraction osteogenesis has widespread clinical use in the treatment of congenital and acquired craniofacial deformities. Nonetheless, during the prolonged consolidation period, the newly regenerated bone carries the risk of complications. A known method for enhancing bone healing is extracorporeal shock wa...
