EXPRESSION AND ACTIVATION OF THE BMP-SIGNALING COMPONENTS IN HUMAN FRACTURE NONUNIONS

Abstract excerpt

Background: The potential use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) to promote bone-healing is of great interest to orthopaedic surgeons. Although the complex mechanism leading from the local presence of BMP (whether endogenous or exogenous) to bone formation is increasingly understood, limited information is available as to whether endogenous BMPs, their receptors, or other molecules involved in their signal...
