Growth/differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5), a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, shows a close structural relationship to bone morphogenetic proteins and plays crucial roles in skeletal morphogenesis. Recombinant human (rh) GDF-5 was reported as a suitable factor for enhancing healing in bone defect and inducing ectopic bone formation. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of bone formation induced by rhGDF-5 in murine calvariae by radiological, histological and immunohistochemical methods. Cell proliferation was also examined in vitro.
