Abstract
Bone marrow contains a rare class of stem cells capable of developing into a number of mesenchymal tissues. The delivery of these cells to appropriate skeletal sites will require uniquely compatible biomaterials. Porous calcium phosphate ceramics may provide such a vehicle for the repair of bone. The experimental basis for this proposal is discussed.
