A schematic diagram of the interactions between SCs and endothelial cells in TEBG. SCs promoted nestin and VEGF receptor expression of BM-MSC-derived IECs, and IECs inhibited TIMP-2 secretion of SCs by autologous nestin expression to promote activity of MMP-14 and VEGF, eventually efficiently induced prevascularization and osteogenesis of TEBG
