摘要
<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>Disclosed is a method of stimulating bone growth at a site in a subject in <br/>need of osteoinduction or cartilage repair. The method comprises the step of <br/>administering a therapeutically effective amount of an agonist of the non-<br/>proteolytically activated thrombin receptor to the site.
