Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) supergene family and is characterized by its ability to induce singly de novo cartilage and bone in vivo. The influence of recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-4 and some related members, TGF-beta 1, activin A, and inhibin A, on articular chondrocyte metabolism in the presence and absence of extracellular matrix...
