What is BMP fusion? Are those proteins synthetic? I would appreciate any info about this. Thank you
Two proteins that help stimulate the fusion process have been discovered, BMP-2 and BMP-7 (bone morphogenetic proteins). They are identified and re-produced with genetic engineering. The genetically reproduced proteins led scientist to realize that they (BMP-2) could stimulate bone formation. And genetically created BMP was used in patients undergoing spine fusion on an experimental basis. In 2002, the FDA approved the initial use of BMP in a special circumstance combined with a cage inserted into the disc space in the lumbar spine. That is all I know about it. I hope it helps.
