introduction : surgical repair of cleft palate with a bony bridge may offer some distinct advantages including a lower rate of fistula formation. the goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of surgically inducing cleft palate and reconstruction of the cleft with the use of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (bmp-2) in sheep. materials and methods : in the control group (two sheep), the cle...

background: bone morphogenetic protein 2 (bmp- 2) belongs to the tgf-β superfamily of proteins and plays an important role in the development of bone and cartilage. bmp- 2 is also associated with maintenance and repair of damaged bone. recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhbmp- 2) is now produced by genetic engineering techniques and used in treatment of thin bone fractures in the j...

conclusions the results of the first human pharmacokinetic studies of aminorex were first characterized in 2013. the results suggest that while humans could produce aminorex from levamisole, they probably do not convert very much. even though cases of pah have been reported in cocaine users, the latest pharmacokinetic studies suggest that very little aminorex is actually produced from the inges...

objective: bone morphogenetic protein-7 (bmp-7) is a multifunctional growth factor predominantly recognized for its osteoinductive properties. due to the high cost of this protein, the availability of bmp-7 for treatment is limited. the heterologous production of recombinant hbmp-7 has been performed in a number of expression systems. in this study a novel form of bmp-7 was expressed in eukaryo...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are multipotent cells that can be collected from different sources. under specific conditions, mscs can be differentiated to tissue specific cells in vitro. human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucmscs) can easily be harvested and cultured in in vitro conditions. production of germ cells from mesenchymal stem cells is a very interesting and prom...

background bone morphogenetic protein 7 (bmp7) has been suggested to play a protective role against kidney injury in chronic kidney disease. objectives to identify the critical molecular regulators in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy, we studied the expression of bmp7 and 2 important kidney-specific markers, podocin and tamm–horsfall protein (thp). materials and methods a diabetic nephro...

background :delayed :::::union:::::, non:::::union:::::, and mechanical failure is still problems encountered in limb salvage surgery (lss) using extracorporeal irradiation (eci). this study aimed to determine whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (msc) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhbmp-2) improve host-graft :::::union::::: after osteotomy and also increase its mech...

Bmp-Encoding Adenoviral Vector Tethered to Dental Implants Enhances Bone Regeneration In article number 2200531, Shogo Maekawa, Young-Dan Cho, William Giannobile, and co-workers demonstrate that immobilizing bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) genes onto the surfaces of dental implants by chemical vapor deposition technology enhances regeneration.
