Figure 2 Stromal cell-derived factor 1/chemochine receptor 4 can recruit mesenchymal stem cells to induce fracture repair in skeletal healing. Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) is expresses on the periosteum of the bone graft and recruited chemochine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) expressing mesenchymal stem cells in the acute phase of bone repair. PDPCs: Periosteum-derived precursor cells.
