Cyr61 delivery promotes angiogenesis during bone fracture repair

Annemarie Lang, Emily A. Eastburn, Mousa Younesi, Madhura P. Nijsure, Carly Siciliano, Annapurna Pranatharthi Haran, Christopher J. Panebianco, Elizabeth Seidl, Rui Tang, Eben Alsberg, Nick J. Willett, Riccardo Gottardi, Dongeun Huh, Joel D. Boerckel

This study shows that Cyr61 delivery enhances angiogenesis during bone fracture repair, particularly in fractures with stable fixation, and may have therapeutic potential for poor vascularization.
