A research team combined a protein that stimulates bone formation with a peptide that promotes osteoblast differentiation, and delivered them into mouse jawbones by injection within a gelatin carrier. The technique induced formation of new bone, suggesting its potential as a non-invasive means of replacing lost jawbone.
