[Application of BMP to bone repair]

[Article in Japanese]
Akira Yamaguchi. Clin Calcium. 2007 Feb.

Abstract

Bone regeneration process involves upregulation of various bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their receptors, and several lines of evidence have demonstrated that BMP signaling plays a crucial role in bone regeneration. Recent research using conditional knockout mice of BMP-2 in limb revealed the essential role of BMP-2 during bone regeneration. Recombinant human BMPs and gene therapy of BMPs have been successfully applied to bone repair including application to dental implant.
