Sinonasal Schwannoma with New Bone Formation Expressing Bone Morphogenic Protein
Schwannoma is a benign tumor that arises from the sheath of myelinated nerve fibers and may occur in any part of the body. Osteogenesis in schwannoma is extremely rare and, to date, new bone formation in sinonasal schwannoma has not yet been reported. Here, we describe the first reported case of sinonasal schwannoma with new bone formation. The tumor was successfully treated by endoscopic sinus...
متن کاملExpression of bone morphogenic protein in sinonasal inverted papilloma with new bone formation
Inverted papilloma (IP) is a common benign tumor in the nose and sinus. Osteogenesis in sinonasal IP is extremely rare; to date, only five cases of IP with new bone formation appear in the literature. In addition, the mechanism of osteogenesis in IP remains unclear. Here, we describe three cases of IP with new bone formation and an investigation into a possible role for bone morphogenic protein...
متن کاملBone Morphogenic Protein Use in Spinal Surgery.
Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) provides excellent enhancement of fusion in many spinal surgeries. BMP should be a cautionary tale about the use of industry-sponsored research, perceived conflicts of interest, and holding the field of spinal surgery to the highest academic scrutiny and ethical standards. In the case of BMP, not having a transparent base of literature as it was approved led to de...
متن کاملRetargeting recombinant adenoviral vectors expressing bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2) to improve the efficacy of bone formation in mice with applications in spinal fusion
Spinal fusion is a common medical procedure with potential for improvement. Bone deossification and pathologic fracture often occur in patients after surgery, so there is a need for improved therapeutic approaches to bone healing. One promising approach to improve this procedure is gene therapy mediated by adenoviral (Ad) vectors. These vectors can be armed with bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP2...
متن کاملEndothelium-derived bone morphogenic protein antagonists may counteract the proatherogenic vascular effects of bone morphogenic protein 4.
In the present issue of Circulation, Chang et al1 report novel shear stress–sensitive paracrine mechanisms that regulate the activity of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in the vascular wall. BMP2 and BMP4 are structurally related members of the transforming growth factorsuperfamily. Recent studies demonstrated that vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells are a significant source of BMPs...
