Signal transduction initiated by TGFb1 and OP-1 was studied in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells and in normal human bone cells (HBCs) in the presence of inhibitors of signal transduction events, using insulinlike growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) production as an end point. Treatment of serum-f
The process of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2)induced endochondral ossification involves 1 ) the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal cells into chondroblasts and osteoblasts; 2) the production and maturation of cartilage and bone matrix; and 3 ) the differentiat
## Abstract ## Objective Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and transforming growth factor Ξ² (TGFΞ²) are potent anabolic factors in adult articular chondrocytes. In this study, we investigated whether intracellular inhibitors of BMP and TGFΞ² signaling, inhibitory Smad6 (IβSmad6) and IβSmad7, are expr
