Differential bone and vessel type formation at superior and dura periosteum during cranial bone defect repair by Yuankun Zhai, Zhuang Zhou, Xiaojie Xing, Mark Nuzzle, Xinping Zhang

“…Utilizing transgenic mouse models in conjunction with high-resolution multiphoton laser scanning microscopy (MPLSM), we have separately evaluated bone and vessel formation in the superior and dura periosteum before and after injury, as well as following intermittent treatment of recombinant peptide of human parathyroid hormone (rhPTH), Teriparatide. Our results show that new bone formation along the dura surface is three times greater than that along the superior periosteal surface following injury, regardless of Teriparatide treatment. …”
