Bone Morphogenetic Proteins for Nucleus Pulposus Regeneration

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins for Nucleus Pulposus Regeneration

Matrix production by nucleus pulposus (NP) cells, the cells residing in the center of the intervertebral disc, can be stimulated by growth factors. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) hold great promise. Although BMP2 and BMP7 have been used most frequently, other BMPs have also shown potential for N...
