Therapeutic Potential for Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 in Human Malignant Glioma
Human glioma, in particular, malignant forms such as glioblastoma exhibit dismal survival rates despite advances in treatment strategies. A population of glioma cells with stem-like features, glioma cancer stem-like cells (GCSCs), contribute to renewal ...

Matrix Gla protein maintains normal and malignant hematopoietic progenitor cells by interacting with bone morphogenetic protein-4 [PDF]
Matrix Gla protein (MGP), a modulator of the BMP-SMAD signals, inhibits arterial calcification in a Glu γ-carboxylation dependent manner but the role of MGP highly expressed in a subset of bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem/stromal cells is unknown.

Bone morphogenetic protein 4 thermosensitive hydrogel inhibits corneal neovascularization by repairing corneal epithelial apical junctional complexes [PDF]
Corneal neovascularization (CNV) is a heavy attribute of blinding disease changes. Existing medications need numerous infusions and have a limited absorption. Investigating novel drugs with safety, efficacy, and convenience is crucial.

Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 Gene Therapy in Mice Inhibits Myeloma Tumor Growth, But Has a Negative Impact on Bone [PDF]
Multiple myeloma is characterized by accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. Most patients suffer from an osteolytic bone disease, caused by increased bone degradation and reduced bone formation.

Emerging Role of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 in Metabolic Disorders [PDF]
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of signaling molecules that belong to the TGF-β superfamily. Initially discovered for their ability to induce bone formation, BMPs are known to play a diverse and critical array of biological roles. We here focus on recent evidence showing that BMP4 is an important regulator of white/beige adipogenic ...
