abstract：:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play an important role in regulating osteoblastic differentiation and bone formation. But the diffuse of BMPs into muscle tissues around bone injury sites often leads to heterotopic ossification, which has been regarded as one of major side-effects of BMP implementation in bone defec...
