Aim: We tested the hypothesis that the association of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts (OBs) optimize bone repair. Materials & Methods: MSCs were cultured in growth or osteogenic medium and seeded into gelatin sponge prior to implantation. Defects were created into rat calvariae and implanted with gelatin sponge without cells, with MSCs, with OBs and with association of MSCs and OBs. Histological analysis and micro-CT-based histomorphometry were carried out after 4 weeks. Results: Increased bone formation was observed in defects treated with cells and bone volume was greater in defects treated with either OBs or MSCs/OBs. Conclusion: Association of MSCs and OBs did not increase the process of bone repair compared with cell-based therapy using either MSCs or OBs alone.
