What Does BMP Stand For?
BMP stands for Bone Morphogenetic Proteins
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors that play a crucial role in bone and cartilage development. They belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-?) superfamily and are involved in various biological processes, including osteogenesis, cell differentiation, and tissue regeneration. BMPs are essential for the formation of new bone and are utilized in various therapeutic applications, such as orthopedic surgery and regenerative medicine, to enhance bone healing and repair.
