Depletion of bone marrow cells inhibits FGF-2-induced bone formation in the marrow cavity. FGF-2-adsorbed collagen pellets were implanted in mouse femur defects in the following conditions: (#1) Intact marrow (normal, control); (#2) Ablated marrow (ablation); (#3) Femur translocation; (#4) Marrow ablation and femur translocation. (A) Sagittal section images of femur defect areas (left panel) and 3D images of the trabecular bone (right panel). (B) Quantitative evaluation of BV/TV of trabecular bone in femur defect area. (n = 4, *** p < 0.001 versus control pellet (#). One-way ANOVA/Tukey).
