BMP signaling downstream of the Highwire E3 ligase sensitizes nociceptors. [PDF]
A comprehensive understanding of the molecular machinery important for nociception is essential to improving the treatment of pain. Here, we show that the BMP signaling pathway regulates nociception downstream of the E3 ubiquitin ligase highwire (hiw ...

A whole-body atlas of BMP signaling activity in an adult sea anemone [PDF]
Background BMP signaling is responsible for the second body axis patterning in Bilateria and in the bilaterally symmetric members of the bilaterian sister clade Cnidaria—corals and sea anemones.

BMP signaling in cancer stemness and differentiation. [PDF]
AbstractThe BMP (Bone morphogenetic protein) signaling pathway plays a central role in metazoan biology, intricately shaping embryonic development, maintaining tissue homeostasis, and influencing disease progression. In the context of cancer, BMP signaling exhibits context-dependent dynamics, spanning from tumor suppression to promotion.

Positional BMP signaling orchestrates villus length in the small intestine [PDF]
The intestinal epithelium undergoes fast turnover, and the villus length in the small intestine gradually decreases from the duodenum to the ileum. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

BMP signaling promotes zebrafish heart regeneration via alleviation of replication stress [PDF]
In contrast to mammals, adult zebrafish achieve complete heart regeneration via proliferation of cardiomyocytes. Surprisingly, we found that regenerating cardiomyocytes experience DNA replication stress, which represents one reason for declining tissue ...

Bone morphogenetic protein signaling regulation of AMPK and PI3K in lung cancer cells and C. elegans
Background Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is a phylogenetically conserved signaling pathway required for development that is aberrantly expressed in several age-related diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

Two Paralogous Tetraspanins TSP-12 and TSP-14 Function with the ADAM10 Metalloprotease SUP-17 to Promote BMP Signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
The highly conserved bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway regulates many developmental and homeostatic processes. While the core components of the BMP pathway have been well studied, much research is needed for understanding the mechanisms ...

BMP signaling in axon regeneration [PDF]
Neuronal competence to re-extend axons and a permissive environment that allows growth cone navigation are two major determinants for successful axon regeneration. Here, we review the roles of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in mediating both neuronal and glial injury responses after CNS injury.

Extracellular regulation of BMP signaling [PDF]
In the developing organism, cells differentiate, divide and die as part of groups of hundreds or thousands of cells called 'morphogenetic fields'. Fields have the remarkable property of self-regulation: for example, if the forelimb field is bisected, each half can give rise to a complete limb after transplantation, as discovered by Ross Harrison in ...

BMP Signaling Pathway in Dentin Development and Diseases
BMP signaling plays an important role in dentin development. BMPs and antagonists regulate odontoblast differentiation and downstream gene expression via canonical Smad and non-canonical Smad signaling pathways.
