BMPR1A signalling is linked to tumour progression in dedifferentiated liposarcomas: lessons for rhBMP2 use in spinal surgery
2016-02-06
Abstract excerpt
Bone Morphogenic Protein 2 (BMP2) is a multipurpose cytokine, important in the development of bone and cartilage, and with a role in tumour initiation and progression. Because of BMP2’s osteogenic properties, a recombinant human version (rhBMP2) has found utility as an adjuvant therapy during surgery for spinal fusions. However, the results of large-scale meta-analysis has highlighted the potential of rhBMP2 to pr...
