| 1 | Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in development and human diseases显示文摘Bone Morphogenetic Proteins(BMPs)are a group of signaling molecules that belongs to the Transforming Growth Factor-b(TGF-b)superfamily of proteins.Initially discovered for their ability to induce bone formation,BMPs are now known to play crucial roles in all organ systems.BMPs are important in embryogenesis and development,and also in maintenance of adult tissue homeostasis.Mouse knockout models of various components of the BMP signaling pathway result in embryonic lethality or marked defects,highlighting the essential functions of BMPs.In this review,we first outline the basic aspects of BMP signaling and then focus on genetically manipulated mouse knockout models that have helped elucidate the role of BMPs in development.A significant portion of this review is devoted to the prominent human pathologies associated with dysregulated BMP signaling. | Richard N.Wang Jordan Green Zhongliang Wang Youlin Deng Min Qiao Michael Peabody Qian Zhang Jixing Ye Zhengjian Yan Sahitya Denduluri Olumuyiwa Idowu Melissa Li Christine Shen Alan Hu Rex C.Haydon Richard Kang James Mok Michael J.Lee Hue L.Luu Lewis L.Shi | 2014 | Genes & Diseases2014，1，1： | 47 |
