Journal ArticleDOI

High doses of bone morphogenetic protein 2 induce structurally abnormal bone and inflammation in vivo.

TL;DR: Overall, this study consistently reproduced BMP2 side effects of cyst-like bone and soft tissue swelling using high B MP2 concentration approaching the typical human 1500 μg/mL.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of BMP-2 coupled – Nanosilver-PLGA composite grafts to induce bone repair in grossly infected segmental defects

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metallic nanosilver particles (with a size of 20-40nm)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) composite grafts have strong antibacterial properties, making it an ideal antimicrobial for bone regeneration in infected wounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progression of Geographic Atrophy in Age-related Macular Degeneration: AREDS2 Report Number 16.

Tiarnan D L Keenan, +1001 more

TL;DR: GA enlargement, which was influenced by lesion features, was relentless, resulting in rapid central vision loss, and the genetic variants associated with faster enlargement were partially distinct from those associated with risk of incident GA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of glutathione in macrophage control of mycobacteria.

TL;DR: The role of glutathione and S-nitrosoglutathione in animal and human macrophages in controlling intracellular mycobacterial growth is investigated through the use of the peptide transport mutant, a mutant strain of Mycobacterium bovis BCG defective in the transport of small peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural History of Drusenoid Pigment Epithelial Detachment Associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 Report No. 17

Jeannette J. Yu, +997 more

TL;DR: The genetic associations of drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment associated with age-related macular degeneration are consistent with genes associated with AMD progression, and progression rates to late AMD: geographic atrophy (GA) and neovascular (NV)-AMD.
