6 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
In the field of bone regeneration, BMP-2 is considered one of the most important growth factors because of its strong osteogenic activity, and is therefore extensively used in clinical practice. However, the short half-life of BMP-2 protein necessitates the use of supraphysiological doses, leading to severe side-effects. This study investigated the efficiency of bone formation at ectopic and orthotopic sites as a...
