Bone Morphogenetic Proteins

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors that play a crucial role in the development and repair of bones and cartilage. They help regulate cell growth, differentiation, and healing processes by signaling to stem cells to become bone or cartilage cells. BMPs are naturally present in the body and are used in medical treatments to promote bone regeneration, such as in spinal fusions or repairing fractures. Their ability to stimulate new bone formation makes them valuable in orthopedic and dental therapies.
