Abstract excerpt
Cartilage-derived morphogenetic proteins 1 and 2 (CDMP-1 and CDMP-2) are members of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family which play an important role in embryonic skeletal development. Throughout adult life, bone marrow-derived precursor cells maintain their ability to differentiate into osteoblasts in response to local growth factors. This study examines the osteogenic potential of CDMP-1, CDMP-2, BMP-6...
