Many research methods exist to elucidate the role of BMP-2 during bone regeneration. This chapter briefly reviews important animal models used in these studies and provides details on the rat femur defect model. This animal model is frequently utilized to measure the efficacy of osteogenic factors like BMP-2. Detailed information about delivery methods, dose range, and dose duration used in BMP-2-related studies are provided.
