Recombinant Bone Morphogenetic Proteins: Novel Substances for Enhancing Bone Healing
1 Sept 1995
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are differentiative factors whose principal function is to induce transformation of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells into chondroblasts and osteoblasts in a dose-dependent manner. Bone morphogenetic proteins have been isolated postnatally in mammals from bone matrix, periosteal cells, mesenchymal cells of marrow stroma, tooth analagen, and cells of osteosarcoma and...
