The 2011 study {1} showed that:
Our findings indicate that it is possible to significantly improve tendon healing by applying exogenous BMP-2 to the wound site, inferring that this protein could be developed as a potential therapeutic reagent for the treatment of damaged tendons.
Has any treatment based on applying exogenous BMP-2 to the wound site been shown to be useful to treat tendinopathies?
