Correlated light microscope and ultrastructural observations of allogeneic intramuscular implants of rat demineralized bone matrix demonstrate the interrelationships between various osteogenetic and non-osteogenetic cell types and suggest that the bone morphogenetic response is evoked from cells of a common origin. Endothelial cells may play a prominent, essential, as well as primary role in the bone morphogenetic response.
