Establishment and characterization of a transgenic mouse model for in vivo imaging of Bmp4 expression in the pancreas. [PDF]
Type-2 diabetes results from the development of insulin resistance and a concomitant impairment of insulin secretion. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (Bmp4)-Bmp receptor 1A signaling in β cells has recently been reported to be required for insulin ...

MicroRNA-378 promotes myogenic differentiation by targeting BMP4
MicroRNA-378 (miRNA-378) has been reported to have a crucial role in skeletal muscle differentiation; however, the underlying mechanisms have largely remained to be elucidated. The present study employed high‑throughput RNA sequencing to investigate the transcriptome following transfection of miRNA‑378 mimics or control RNAs into C2C12 myoblast cells ...

Regulation of BMP4/Dpp retrotranslocation and signaling by deglycosylation
During endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), the cytoplasmic enzyme N -glycanase 1 (NGLY1) is proposed to remove N -glycans from misfolded N -glycoproteins after their retrotranslocation from the ER

WISP2 regulates preadipocyte commitment and PPARγ activation by BMP4 [PDF]
Inability to recruit new adipose cells following weight gain leads to inappropriate enlargement of existing cells (hypertrophic obesity) associated with inflammation and a dysfunctional adipose tissue. We found increased expression of WNT1 inducible signaling pathway protein 2 (WISP2) and other markers of WNT activation in human abdominal s.c.

Early stages of tooth development in the harbor porpoise Phocoena phocoena
Abstract Here we describe the stages of tooth development in toothed whales on the basis of the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). The aim of the study was to find out whether these stages are identical to those of other mammals analyzed so far although toothed whales are homodont and monophyodont.

Synapse Elimination Triggered by BMP4 Exocytosis and Presynaptic BMP Receptor Activation
In vitro screening of signaling molecules involved in neural circuit formation has identified a large number of synaptogenic proteins. However, factors that drive synapse elimination remain elusive. Here, we report that bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4)

Objective Beyond its role as a ribosome‐targeting antibiotic, linezolid was recently shown to modulate immune responses by inhibiting mitochondrial translation. Because mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in various fibrotic diseases, including systemic sclerosis (SSc), this study aimed to evaluate the antifibrotic potential of linezolid and ...

Objectives Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and synovitis have been recognized as essential factors for developing osteoarthritis (OA) in the hip joints. However, little is known about altered synovial cellular compositions, their associated transcriptomic profiles, and cell‐cell interactions in FAI and hip OA.
