Lipids in Health and Disease, 2017 Background Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) has been proven to regulate white adipogensis. We aimed to demonstrate the correlation of BMP-4 with fat distribution and Exenatide treatment on it. Methods We enrolled 69 obese patients. Anthropometric and

The spatiotemporal expression pattern of the bone morphogenetic protein family in rat ovary cell types during the estrous cycle. [PDF]
, 2003 In the mammalian ovary, great interest in the expression and function of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family has been recently generated from evidence of their critical role in determining folliculogenesis and female fertility.

A Role for Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 in Adipocyte Development [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2007 Obesity is characterized by increases in the number of mature adipocytes. Nascent adipocytes arise from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by a multi-step process--MSCs are recruited to the adipocyte lineage forming determined preadipocytes, these committed progenitors proliferate, undergo growth arrest, and finally differentiate into mature adipocytes ...

Specific Preferences in Lineage Choice and Phenotypic Plasticity of Glioma Stem Cells Under BMP4 and Noggin Influence [PDF]
, 2015 Although BMP4-induced differentiation of glioma stem cells (GSCs) is well recognized, details of the cellular responses triggered by this morphogen are still poorly defined.

Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 Mediates Human Embryonic Germ Cell Derivation [PDF]
Stem Cells and Development, 2011 Human primordial germ cells (PGCs) have proven to be a source of pluripotent stem cells called embryonic germ cells (EGCs). Unlike embryonic stem cells, virtually little is known regarding the factors that regulate EGC survival and maintenance. In mice, the growth factor bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) has been shown to be required for maintaining ...

Bone morphogenetic proteins: Signaling periodontal bone regeneration and repair
Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2016 Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens. Originally discovered by their ability to induce the formation of bone and cartilage, BMPs are now considered to constitute a group of pivotal ...
