Axis Patterning by BMPs: Cnidarian Network Reveals Evolutionary Constraints
Cell Reports, 2015 BMP signaling plays a crucial role in the establishment of the dorso-ventral body axis in bilaterally symmetric animals. However, the topologies of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling networks vary drastically in different animal groups ...

Regulation of Phosphatase Homologue of Tensin Protein Expression by Bone Morphogenetic Proteins in Prostate Epithelial Cells [PDF]
, 2010 Phosphatase homologue of tensin (PTEN) is the key endogenous inhibitor of phosphoinositide signaling and is the most commonly mutated gene in human prostate cancer.

BMP signalling in craniofacial development
The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2006 The BMP signalling pathway is conserved throughout evolution and essential for mammalian embryonic and postnatal development and growth. In the vertebrate head, this signal is involved in the development of a variety of structures and shows divergent roles.

TAK1 mediates BMP signaling in cartilage [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010 Although many signals are capable of activating MAPK signaling cascades in chondrocytes in vitro, the function of these pathways remains unclear in vivo. Here we report the phenotype of mice with a conditional deletion of TGF‐β‐activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a MAP3K family member, in cartilage using the collagen 2α promoter.

A Bmp reporter with ultrasensitive characteristics reveals that high Bmp signaling is not required for cortical hem fate. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Insights into Bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) functions during forebrain development have been limited by a lack of Bmp signaling readouts. Here we used a novel Bmp signaling reporter ("BRE-gal" mice) to study Bmp signaling in the dorsal telencephalon ...

Suppression of BMP signaling by PHD2 deficiency in Pulmonary Arterial hypertension
Pulmonary Circulation, 2022 BMP signaling deficiency is evident in the lungs of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. We demonstrated that PHD2 deficiency suppresses BMP signaling in the lung endothelial cells, suggesting the novel mechanisms of dysregulated BMP signaling ...

Bmp induces osteoblast differentiation through both Smad4 and mTORC1 signaling [PDF]
, 2017 The bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) family of secreted molecules has been extensively studied in the context of osteoblast differentiation. However, the intracellular signaling cascades that mediate the osteoblastogenic function of Bmp have not been ...

Opposing nodal and BMP signals regulate left-right asymmetry in the sea urchin larva.
PLoS Biology, 2012 Nodal and BMP signals are important for establishing left-right (LR) asymmetry in vertebrates. In sea urchins, Nodal signaling prevents the formation of the rudiment on the right side.

Mechanisms of action of hESC-secreted proteins that enhance human and mouse myogenesis. [PDF]
, 2014 Adult stem cells grow poorly in vitro compared to embryonic stem cells, and in vivo stem cell maintenance and proliferation by tissue niches progressively deteriorates with age.
