  2. Demineralized bone matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demineralized_bone_matrix

    Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is allograft bone that has had the inorganic mineral removed, leaving behind the organic "collagen" matrix. It was first discovered by Marshall Urist in 1965 that the removal of the bone mineral exposes more biologically active bone morphogenetic proteins . [ 1 ]

  3. Bone morphogenetic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_morphogenetic_protein

    On the basis of the above work, it seemed likely that morphogens were present in the bone matrix. Using a battery of bioassays for bone formation, a systematic study was undertaken to isolate and purify putative bone morphogenetic proteins. A major stumbling block to purification was the insolubility of demineralized bone matrix.

  4. Osteogenesis imperfecta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteogenesis_imperfecta

    A 2020 review in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JB&JS) found it remains broadly popular: ≈ 2 ⁄ 3 of people with OI types III and IV (severe OI) have undergone some form of rodding surgery in their lives, at a mean age of 4 + 1 ⁄ 10 and 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 years respectively; [25]: Table I one possible explanation for a tendency towards ...

  5. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_morphogenetic_protein_4

    Bone morphogenetic protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by BMP4 gene. [4] [5] BMP4 is found on chromosome 14q22-q23. BMP4 is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein family which is part of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. The superfamily includes large families of growth and differentiation factors. BMP4 is highly ...

  6. Osteoclast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoclast

    The osteoclast releases hydrogen ions through the action of carbonic anhydrase (H 2 O + CO 2 → HCO 3 − + H +) through the ruffled border into the resorptive cavity, acidifying and aiding dissolution of the mineralized bone matrix into Ca 2+, H 3 PO 4, H 2 CO 3, water and other substances. Dysfunction of the carbonic anhydrase has been ...

  7. Demineralized freeze dried bone allograft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demineralized_freeze_dried...

    Demineralized freeze dried bone allograft, referred to as DFDBA, is a bone graft material known for its de novo bone formation properties. [1] It is used extensively in bone grafting of alveolar bone in oral and periodontal surgery.

  8. Bone remodeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_remodeling

    Bone tissue is removed by osteoclasts, and then new bone tissue is formed by osteoblasts. Both processes utilize cytokine (TGF-β, IGF) signalling.In osteology, bone remodeling or bone metabolism is a lifelong process where mature bone tissue is removed from the skeleton (a process called bone resorption) and new bone tissue is formed (a process called ossification or new bone formation).

  9. Osteoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoblast

    The functional part of bone, the bone matrix, is entirely extracellular. The bone matrix consists of protein and mineral. The protein forms the organic matrix. It is synthesized and then the mineral is added. The vast majority of the organic matrix is collagen, which provides tensile strength. The matrix is mineralized by deposition of ...
