Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 Induces Increased Calvarial Osteoblast Proliferation and Cranial Suture Fusion

Objective: Craniosynostosis has been associated with fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively determine the effect of FGF2 on rat calvarial osteoblasts and a rat cranial suture formation model. Design: Fetal rat calvarial osteoblasts were...
