The bone morphogenetic proteins were originally identified based on their ability to induce ectopic bone formation in vivo and have since been identified as members of the transforming growth factor-@ gene superfamily. It has been well established that the bone morphogenetic cytokines enhance osteog

We have examined the effects of BMP-2 on the expression of bone matrix proteins in both human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSC) and human osteoblasts (HOB) and their proliferation and mineralization. Both HBMSC and HOB express BMP-2/-4 type I and type II receptors. Treatment of these two cell types
## Abstract Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)β2 has a critical role in bone formation and regeneration. Therefore, the ability to immobilize this molecule in certain matrices may be crucial in bone tissue engineering. Using carbodiimide chemistry, BMPβ2 was directly immobilized on silk fibroin films
Osteoprogenitor cells in the human bone marrow stroma can be induced to differentiate into osteoblasts under stimulation with hormonal and local factors. We previously showed that human bone marrow stromal (HBMS) cells respond to dexamethasone and vitamin D by expressing several osteoblastic markers
