Digit patterning during limb development as a result of the BMP-receptor interaction [PDF]
Turing models have been proposed to explain the emergence of digits during limb development. However, so far the molecular components that would give rise to Turing patterns are elusive.

Hemojuvelin-Neogenin Interaction Is Required for Bone Morphogenic Protein-4-induced Hepcidin Expression [PDF]
Hemojuvelin (HJV) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked protein and binds both bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) and neogenin. Cellular HJV acts as a BMP co-receptor to enhance the transcription of hepcidin, a key iron regulatory hormone secreted ...

BMP signaling and early embryonic patterning [PDF]
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play pleiotropic roles during embryonic development as well as throughout life. Recent genetic approaches especially using the mouse gene knockout system revealed that BMP signaling is greatly involved in early embryonic patterning, which is a dynamic event to establish three-dimensional polarities.

Smad-Independent BMP Signaling in Somatic Cells Limits the Size of the Germline Stem Cell Pool
Summary: In developing organisms, proper tuning of the number of stem cells within a niche is critical for the maintenance of adult tissues; however, the involved mechanisms remain largely unclear.

Spondylocarpotarsal syndrome (SCT) is a rare musculoskeletal disorder characterized by short stature and vertebral, carpal, and tarsal fusions resulting from biallelic nonsense mutations in the gene encoding filamin B (FLNB).

Molecular mechanisms of neural crest formation [PDF]
The neural crest is a transient population of multipotent precursor cells named for its site of origin at the crest of the closing neural folds in vertebrate embryos.

Regulation of the BMP Signaling-Responsive Transcriptional Network in the Drosophila Embryo.
The BMP signaling pathway has a conserved role in dorsal-ventral axis patterning during embryonic development. In Drosophila, graded BMP signaling is transduced by the Mad transcription factor and opposed by the Brinker repressor.

Current perspectives of the signaling pathways directing neural crest induction. [PDF]
The neural crest is a migratory population of embryonic cells with a tremendous potential to differentiate and contribute to nearly every organ system in the adult body.

Wnt Signaling in Neural Crest Ontogenesis and Oncogenesis. [PDF]
Neural crest (NC) cells are a temporary population of multipotent stem cells that generate a diverse array of cell types, including craniofacial bone and cartilage, smooth muscle cells, melanocytes, and peripheral neurons and glia during embryonic ...

Stem Cells: Keeping BMP Signaling Local [PDF]
In stem cell niches, the spatial extent of growth factor signaling needs to be tightly controlled. A new study on the Drosophila testicular germline stem cell niche has revealed that BMP signaling is locally activated through linkage to adherens junctions.
