| Abstract | PURPOSE: Most craniofacial birth defects contain skeletal components that require bone grafting. Although many growth factors have shown potential for use in bone regeneration, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the most osteoinductive. However, supraphysiologic doses, high cost, and potential adverse effects stimulate clinicians and researchers to identify complementary molecules that allow a reduction in dose of BMP-2. Because NELL1 plays a key role as a regulator of craniofacial skeletal morphogenesis, especially in committed chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation, and a previous synergistic mechanism has been identified, NELL1 is an ideal molecule for combination with BMP-2 in calvarial defect regeneration. We investigated the effect of NELL1 and BMP-2 on bone regeneration in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: BMP-2 doses of 589 and 1,178 ng were grafted into 5-mm critical-sized rat calvarial defects, as compared with 589 ng of NELL1 plus 589 ng of BMP-2 and 1,178 ng of NELL1 plus 1,178 ng of BMP-2, and bone regeneration was analyzed. RESULTS: Live micro-computed tomography data showed increased bone formation throughout 4 to 8 weeks in all groups but a significant improvement when the lower doses of each molecule were combined. High-resolution micro-computed tomography and histology showed more mature and complete defect healing when the combination of NELL1 plus BMP-2 was compared with BMP-2 alone at lower doses. CONCLUSION: The observed potential synergy has significant value in the future treatment of patients with craniofacial defects requiring extensive bone grafting that would normally entail extraoral autogenous bone grafts or doses of BMP-2 in milligrams. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
