| Research Abstract |
BMP-2 is widely known as an osteogenic inducer, but conflicting results are related to its function inside the bone marrow space. This study aimed to clarify the molecular mechanisms and impact of BMP-2 on bone metabolism environment of the bone marrow space. Of great interest, we found that BMP-2 inhibits bone formation in bone marrow space. To date, in an attempt to elucidate this mechanism, we are focusing on BMP-2 negative feedback regulation as well as on cellular and molecular interactions from an immunological perspective.
