title: [Bone metabolism and angiogenesis].
abstract: Bone metabolism is regulated not only by the nutrition supplied by vessel but also by the signals from the cells in vascular tissues. Identification of such signaling molecules has been the major issue in the field of research on the relationship between bone and vasculatures. This review touches on the recent findings on the expression and functions of such signaling molecules including VEGF, MMP and non-collagenous bone matrix proteins.
