Adsorption and release of BMP-2 on nanocrystalline apatite-coated and uncoated hydroxyapatite/b-tricalcium phosphate porous ceramics [PDF]
The association of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) with calcium phosphate bioceramics is known to confer them osteoinductive properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties, especially regarding recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-

Effect of sonic hedgehog/β-TCP composites on bone healing within the critical-sized rat femoral defect [PDF]
The creation of entirely synthetically derived bone substitute materials which are as effective as autologous bone grafts is desirable. Osteogenesis involves the concerted action of several proteins within a signaling cascade.

Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2/4 Signaling Regulates Early Thymocyte Differentiation [PDF]
Abstract Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)2 and BMP4 are involved in the development of many tissues. In this study, we show that BMP2/4 signaling is involved in thymocyte development. Our data suggest that termination of BMP2/4 signaling is necessary for differentiation of CD44+CD25−CD4−CD8− double negative (DN) cells along the T cell ...

Enhanced Osteogenesis of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells by Regulating Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Antagonists and Agonists. [PDF]
UnlabelledAlthough adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are an attractive cell source for bone tissue engineering, direct use of ASCs alone has had limited success in the treatment of large bone defects.
