Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins) are a family of signaling molecules that play important roles in embryonic development, tissue differentiation, and bone formation. They are part of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily of proteins and were originally discovered for their ability to induce bone and cartilage formation.

BMPs are involved in a wide range of biological processes, including embryonic development, tissue repair, and regeneration. They act as signaling molecules that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and they are important in the formation of various tissues, such as bone, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels.
