“…At present, only BMP-2 and BMP-7 are produced commercially as a therapy to enhance bone healing with BMP-7 called osteogenic protein 1 (OP-1). BMP-2 and OP-1 both promote bone formation in a variety of experimental models (rat [8,13,25,46,47,56], rabbit [3,10,29,48], sheep [15,20], dog [9,19,32,35,40,43]). Although these proteins are now used clinically, most of the information on their effects is known from these and other experimental studies.…”
