Role of BMP-2 and OP-1 (BMP-7) in programmed cell death and skeletogenesis during chick limb development
15 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP-2) and Osteogenic Protein 1 (OP-1, also termed BMP-7) are members of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily. In the present study, we have analyzed the effects of administering them locally at different stages and locations of the chick limb bud using heparin beads as carriers.
