Soluble and insoluble signals and the induction of bone formation: molecular therapeutics recapitulating development
27 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
The osteogenic molecular signals of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily, the bone morphogenetic/osteogenic proteins (BMPs/OPs) and uniquely in primates the TGF-beta isoforms per se, pleiotropic members of the TGF-beta supergene family, induce de novo endochondral bone formation as a recapitulation of embryonic development. Naturally derived BMPs/OPs and gamma-irradiated human recombinant...
