  • To highlight the progression of BMPs from discovery to clinical application.
  • To emphasize the continuous efforts in refining BMP understanding and expanding their therapeutic use.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of seminal and recent studies on BMPs.
  • Analysis of the development of recombinant BMP technology.
  • Examination of ongoing clinical research and in vivo studies.

Main Results:

  • BMPs represent a major breakthrough in understanding bone formation.
  • Recombinant BMPs are now clinically available due to technological advancements.
  • Extensive research continues to explore BMPs' in vivo activities and clinical potential.

Conclusions:

  • BMPs are pivotal in bone biology and have transitioned into clinical practice.
  • Continued research is essential for optimizing BMP therapies and broadening their human applications.
  • The future of BMPs involves refining their use for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
