Osteogenic potential of rhBMP9 combined with a bovine?derived natural bone mineral scaffold compared to rhBMP2

ConclusionThese results demonstrate that both rhBMP2 and rhBMP9 have osteopromotive properties on osteoblast differentiation. It was found that rhBMP9 additionally stimulated the osteopromotive potential of osteoblasts when compared to rhBMP2 by demonstrating higher levels of ALP expression and alizarin red staining. Further animal studies comparing both recombinant proteins are necessary to further characterize the osteoinductive potential of BMP9. (Source: Clinical Oral Implants Research)
