Sugar nanostructures reduce BMP-2 requirements for fusion by 99%

Researchers from Northwestern University, Evanston, USA, have developed a type of supramolecular glycopeptide nanostructure which appears to be able to amplify BMP-2 signalling significantly....

Study cautions against use of bone morphogenetic proteins in children’s spine...

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP), commonly used off-label to enhance paediatric spinal fusion (spinal arthrodesis), did not improve revision rates for paediatric spinal fusion, according...
