## Abstract Osterix is a recently identified zincβfingerβcontaining transcription factor, which is required for skeletogenesis as no bone formation was observed in osterixβdeficient mice. Osterix was first cloned as a gene whose expression was enhanced by BMP in C2C12 cells. As BMP induces ectopic

During development, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) induce the differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells to enter into the osteoblastic lineage, and BMPs enhance osteoblastic function. BMPs and noggin, a specific binding protein that blocks BMP actions, are expressed by osteoblastic cells b
## Background: The mechanism of occurrence of calcification and ossification in pilomatricoma remains unclear. ## Objectives: To elucidate the pathogenesis of calcification and ossification in pilomatricoma we examined the role of bone morphogenetic protein (bmp)-2, which plays important parts in
## Abstract Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have demonstrated effectiveness as bone regeneration agents whether delivered as recombinant proteins or via gene therapy. Current gene therapy approaches use vectors expressing single BMPs. In contrast, multiple BMPs are coordinately expressed during
