Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF-β superfamily, acting as
potent regulators during embryogenesis and bone and cartilage formation and repair. Cell …

The biological roles of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been traditionally
associated with the degradation and turnover of most of the components of the extracellular …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are cytokines belonging to the transforming growth
factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily. They play multiple functions during development and tissue …

The QRS interval, from the beginning of the Q wave to the end of the S wave on an
electrocardiogram, reflects ventricular depolarization and conduction time and is a risk factor …

Purpose This review evaluates the application of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in
delayed bone repair, aiming at a broad audience from clinicians to scientists. Next to an …

Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) play an important role in tissue construction
during embryogenesis, and evidence suggests that this process may also help to remodel …

Osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a complex process, which is
regulated by various factors including microRNAs. Our preliminary data showed that the …

Lens arises from ectoderm situated next to the optic vesicles. By thickening and
invaginating, the ectoderm forms the lens vesicle. Growth factors are key regulators of cell …

In many cases, the level, positioning and timing of signaling through the bone
morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway are regulated by molecules that bind BMP ligands in …

Recent genomic analyses of evolutionary radiations suggest that ancestral or standing
genetic variation may facilitate rapid diversification, particularly in cases involving …
