Dose-Dependent Effects of a Novel Selective EP<sub>4</sub> Prostaglandin Receptor Agonist on Treatment of Critical Size Femoral Bone Defects in a Rat Model

Difficulties in treating pseudarthrosis and critical bone defects are still evident in physicians’ clinical routines. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) has shown promising osteoinductive results but also considerable side effects, not unexpected given that it is a morphogen. Thus, the bone regene...
