Abstract
Marshall R. Urist was an American orthopedic surgeon who worked in University of California at Los Angeles. His scientific work about bone formation brought to medical science the discovery of a bone growth inductor substance known as bone morphogenetic protein in 1965. The protein today is a recombinant genetically produced substance which helps to regenerate connective tissues and stimulates non specialized cells to transform in to osteoblastic cell lineage. This biographical document about Urist reviews his life, career, classic scientific papers and those landmark contributions to medical science.
