Activin‐A Regulates Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling in Pulmonary Endothelial Cells Without Affecting Bone Morphogenetic Protein Type‐II Receptor Expression [PDF]
Activin‐A is elevated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients, and reportedly suppresses BMPR‐II. This suggests one mechanism of action for PAH drug, sotatercept, an activin‐ligand trap. However, we were unable to confirm that activin‐A reduces

Assessment of serum levels of bone morphogenetic proteins as sensitive biomarkers for early prediction of acute myocardial infarction. [PDF]
Although acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening disease, rapid diagnosis may reduce mortality risk. Despite being highly specific for AMI, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) does not distinguish between the etiologically diverse of myocardial ...

Increased BMP-Smad signaling does not affect net bone mass in long bones
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been used for orthopedic and dental application due to their osteoinductive properties; however, substantial numbers of adverse reactions such as heterotopic bone formation, increased bone resorption and greater ...

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins [PDF]
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), originally identified as osteoinductive components in extracts derived from bone, are now known to play important roles in a wide array of processes during formation and maintenance of various organs including bone, cartilage, muscle, kidney, and blood vessels. BMPs and the related "growth and differentiation factors"

Functional analysis of alleged NOGGIN mutation G92E disproves its pathogenic relevance.
We identified an amino acid change (p.G92E) in the Bone Morphogenetic Protein antagonist NOGGIN in a 22-month-old boy who presented with a unilateral brachydactyly type B phenotype. Brachydactyly type B is a skeletal malformation that has been associated

Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 in Development and Bone Homeostasis
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multi-functional growth factors belonging to the Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) superfamily. These proteins are essential to many developmental processes, including cardiogenesis, neurogenesis, and ...
