[The mechanism of bone formation promoted by mechano-electrical environments--current studies on local bone factors].
The mechanism for promoting bone formation under the mechanical and the electromagnetical fields stimulation is not yet quite clear. In recent years, it has been found the mechanical and electromagnetical environments may induce the osteogenic cells to produce some local bone factors, such as prostaglandin E2(PGE2), insultine-like growth factors-II (IGF-II), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). These factors play an important role in bone formation and remodeling. This article introduces current studies on some of these local bone factors under the stimulation of the mechanical and electromagnetical environments.
