Silk sericin application increases bone morphogenic protein-2/4 expression via a toll-like receptor-mediated pathway

Bone morphogenic protein-2/4 (BMP-2/4) is an osteoinductive protein that accelerates osteogenesis when administered to bony defects. Sericin is produced by silkworms, and has a biological activity that differs depending on the degumming method used. Our results indicated that the high molecular weig...
