HGF/MET in osteogenic differentiation of primary human palatal periosteum-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Purpose: This study aimed to determine expressions of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and MET proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (MET) in palatal periosteum (PP) and to examine the effect of HGF/MET on osteogenic differentiation of human palatal periosteum-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PD-MSCs).
