Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The clinical application of bone morphogenetic proteins such as BMP-2 and GDF-5 (growth and differentiation factor-5) may improve the outcome of bone defect repair. In addition to the osteoinductivity of BMPs, their angiogenic potential is important as an adequate blood supply is a pr...
