Bone morphogenetic proteins in tissue engineering: the road from laboratory to clinic, part II (BMP delivery)

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are cytokines with a strong effect on bone and cartilage growth and with important roles during embryonic patterning and early skeletal formation. BMPs have promising potential for clinical bone and cartilage repair, working as powerful boneinducing components in d...
