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 …

We review the evolution and structure of members of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-
β) family, antagonistic or agonistic modulators, and receptors that regulate TGF-β signaling …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into several lineages during development
and also contribute to tissue homeostasis and regeneration, although the requirements for …

The transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) family of growth factors control the development
and homeostasis of most tissues in metazoan organisms. Work over the past few years has …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multi-functional growth factors that belong to the
transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily. The roles of BMPs in embryonic …

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are potent growth factors belonging to the
Transforming Growth Factor Beta superfamily. To date over 20 members have been …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) exhibit broad spectra of biological activities in various
tissues, including bone, cartilage, blood vessels, heart, kidney, neurons, liver and lung …

BMP signaling plays an important role in dentin development. BMPs and antagonists
regulate odontoblast differentiation and downstream gene expression via canonical Smad …

Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult hippocampus divide infrequently, and the molecules
that modulate their quiescence are largely unknown. Here, we show that bone …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their receptors, known to be essential regulators
of embryonic patterning and organogenesis, are also critical for the regulation of …
