Bone Health

“Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been shown to stimulate bone formation, and the BMP2 gene was recently linked to osteoporosis..."

 Am. J Clin Nutr. 2006 Feb


“…systemically administered BMP-6 restored bone inductive capacity, microarchitecture, and quality of skeleton in an osteoporotic animal model."

The Journal of Biological Chem. 2006 Sep


"...because of their osteogenic potential, BMPs are of tremendous interest as therapeutic agents for healing fractures of bones, preventing osteoporosis, treating periodontal defects and enhancing bone formation..."

J Oral Sci. 2003 Jun 


“…different growth factors may have a specific role in regulating proliferation and differentiation of different stages of osteoblast lineage cells and play important roles in the local regulation of bone formation.”

J Bone Miner Res. 1993 Dec

Joint Health 

"BMP-4 and BMP-5 are expressed in normal synovial tissue and were found decreased in OA [osteoarthritis] and RA [rheumatoid arthritis]."

Arthritis Research & Therapy 2006 Mar


"...the presence of BMP-6 in adult human articular cartilage indicates a functional role for this growth factor in the maintenance of joint integrity."

Arthritis Rheum 2003 Sep


"...modulation of BMP signaling may be an attractive therapeutic target in chronic arthritis to restore homeostasis and function of synovial joints.”

Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews 2005 Apr


“Bone Morphogenetic protein 7 (bmp-7) stimulates proteoglycan synthesis in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes..."

Biomed Pharmacother. 2006 Dec


"...data suggest that BMP-2 may be a useful cytokine to improve healing of cartilaginous defects.”
