title: Induction of osteogenesis.
abstract: Bone induction studies on baboons using standard millipore tissue chambers showed that lyophilised bone, bone marrow and thrombocytes (growth factors) are necessary for optimal osteogenesis. The decalcification of bone tissue before transplantation leads to the impairment of new bone growth.
