Bone Morphogenetic Proteins: Regeneration of Bone and Beyond /

Show other versions (1)

There is a great interest for biological regeneration of tissues in particular by using growth factors. BMPs are at this time the only growth and differentiation factors discovered with a high potential in inducing regeneration of tissues like bone, cartilage, kidney, brain etc. Other indications fo...
