:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) belong to the
family of transforming growth factors-β (TGF-β) and play an
essential role in the cellular proliferation and differentiation. Trails
that used immunohistochemistry have shown that Ki67 is existed i
n
all normal cells which is in proliferating phase and absent in
differentiated cells in resting phase.
Aim : to investigate the effects of rhBMP-2 on the proliferative
activity of rabbits bone tissue using Ki67 staining.
