This is bone morphogenic protein (BMP). Medtronic Mpls and Medtronic Sofmor Danek were involved in research that brought this to market for use in spinal surgery. Thanks for posting this. It is nice to see that BMP may be used in other applications. -Sue

I got the creeps when they claimed they were using adult stem cells." Reply. Dr. Steve, Why? Most people (who are religious) are disturbed by the use of embryonic stem cells. In this case, rather than using embryonic tissue, Pleuro or multipotent adult stem cells can achieve new bone growth. So why does this give you the creeps? Thanks, -Sue

Actually scratch Pluripotent!! ....I mean Multipotent. I do believe that they are speaking about multipotent adult stem cells, but I will have to check it out. Later, -Sue |
