A Chimeric Growth Factor Accelerates Bone Repair in Nonhuman Primates (1 of 2) (IMAGE)
Caption
Treating intramuscular tissue with either BMP-2 (left) or the chimeric BV-365 (right) led to the formation of bone (TB). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Apr. 24, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by H.J. Seeherman at Bioventus LLC in Boston, MA; and colleagues was titled, "A BMP/activin A chimera is superior to native BMPs and induces bone repair in nonhuman primates when delivered in a composite matrix."
