Regeneration of Bone- and Tendon/Ligament-Like Tissues Induced by Gene Transfer of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-12 in a Rat Bone Defect

Regeneration of Bone- and Tendon/Ligament-Like Tissues Induced by Gene Transfer of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-12 in a Rat Bone Defect

Members of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family have diverse physiological roles. For instance, BMP-2 stimulates osteogenesis, while BMP-12 induces the formation of tendon/ligament-like tissues. Here, we designed a study to determine whether BMP-12 has bone...
