Journal ArticleDOI

Novel regulators of bone formation: molecular clones and activities.

TL;DR: Human complementary DNA clones corresponding to three polypeptides present in this BMP preparation have been isolated, and expression of the recombinant human proteins have been obtained, and each appears to be independently capable of inducing the formation of cartilage in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein induces bone formation.

TL;DR: The cartilage- and bone-inductive activity of the recombinant BMP-2A is histologically indistinguishable from that of bone extracts, and has therapeutic potential to promote de novo bone formation in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of transforming growth factor beta family members present in bone-inductive protein purified from bovine bone

TL;DR: Three human bone morphogenetic proteins show extensive sequence similarity to BMP-2, a molecule that by itself is sufficient to induce de novo bone formation in vivo and is strongly implicated by the presence of these growth factors in the most active fractions of highly purified bone extract.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Regulators of Bone Formation: Molecular Clones and Activities

TL;DR: Human complementary DNA clones corresponding to three polypeptides present in this BMP preparation have been isolated, and expression of the recombinant human proteins have been obtained, and each appears to be independently capable of inducing the formation of cartilage in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of the tendon cell fate using Scleraxis, a specific marker for tendons and ligaments

TL;DR: Scleraxis, a bHLH transcription factor, is a highly specific marker for all the connective tissues that mediate attachment of muscle to bone in chick and mouse, including the limb tendons, and it is shown that early scleraxis expression marks the progenitor cell populations for these tissues.
