Since the discovery of the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) more
than 15 years ago, there has been an unpredicted explosion of both
basic scientific discoveries and clinical reports on their use from
institutions all over the world. The potent effica cy of BMPs in
almost all crucial developmental events as well as during regenera
tion of various organs such as bone, kidney, brain, liver, heart
etc. , has positioned BMPs at the center of scientific interest.
Many of these aspects are covered in this new PIR volume. Their
role in development, biology, signal transduction, kidney
regeneration, eNS functions, craniofacial skeleton reconstruction,
joint and carti lage repair, long bone non-unions and acute
fractures, and spinal fusion is reviewed by experts in the field.
For the first time, the role of BMPs in carcinogenesis has been
reviewed to provide a rationale for applying their biology in
patients with bone tumors. The optimism resulting from safe and
successful treatment with BMPs for various skeletal malformations
of more than 10,000 patients worldwide has opened new avenues for
exploring other indications for their use. The next big challenge
for bringing BMPs to the benefit ofmankind is in regenerating
articular cartilage defects and rescuing patients with acute and
chronic renal failure. The volume editors thank all authors for the
rapid preparation of their chapters in order that the book remains
up-to-date for readers with specific interest in the field of
regenerative medicine. The important contribution of Mrs. Morana
and Mr.
