Bone morphogenetic protein-2 release profile modulates bone formation in phosphorylated hydrogel
The optimal release profile of locally delivered bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) for safe and effective clinical application is unknown. In this work, the effect of differential BMP-2 release on bone formation was investigated using a novel biomaterial oligo[(polyethylene glycol) fumarate] bis[2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] phosphate hydrogel (OPF-BP)

The TGFβ type I receptor TGFβRI functions as an inhibitor of BMP signaling in cartilage. [PDF]
The type I TGFβ receptor TGFβRI (encoded by Tgfbr1) was ablated in cartilage. The resulting Tgfbr1 Col2 mice exhibited lethal chondrodysplasia. Similar defects were not seen in mice lacking the type II TGFβ receptor or SMADs 2 and 3, the intracellular ...

Matrix GLA Protein, a Regulatory Protein for Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2*
Matrix GLA protein (MGP) has been identified as a calcification inhibitor in cartilage and vasculature. Part of this effect may be attributed to its influence on osteoinductive activity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2).

An injectable bone marrow-like scaffold enhances T cell immunity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [PDF]
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for multiple disorders, but deficiency and dysregulation of T cells limit its utility.

Extracellular vesicle-induced differentiation of neural stem progenitor cells [PDF]
Neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs) from E13.5 mouse embryos can be maintained in culture under proliferating conditions. Upon growth-factor removal, they may differentiate toward either neuronal or glial phenotypes or both.

Bone morphogenetic proteins: Signaling periodontal bone regeneration and repair
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens. Originally discovered by their ability to induce the formation of bone and cartilage, BMPs are now considered to constitute a group of pivotal ...
