Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins are members of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. They are widely expressed in the mammalian nervous system, where they exert trophic effects on several neuronal populations. We studied the neurotrophic activity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 and bone morphogenetic protein-7 (also called osteogenic protein-1) on cultured striatal cells, previously shown to express bone...
