Neovascularisation of the meniscus with angiogenin. An experimental study in rabbits

T V King et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 1991 Jul.

Abstract

Angiogenin, a potent blood vessel inducing protein, was implanted into experimentally injured menisci of 75 New Zealand white rabbits. Localised neovascularisation occurred in 52% of the angiogenin-treated animals, and in 9% of the controls. Neovascularisation induced by angiogenin may enhance healing of injuries within the poorly vascularised meniscal fibrocartilage, and improve the results of meniscal repair.
