BMP2 and mechanical loading cooperatively regulate immediate early signalling events in the BMP pathway

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Efficient osteogenic differentiation is highly dependent on coordinated signals arising from growth factor signalling and mechanical forces. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are secreted proteins that trigger Smad and non-Smad path...
