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

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play a crucial role during all stages of embryonic
development. Although only two major signaling pathways have been characterized (the p38 …

Articular cartilage (AC) covers the diarthrodial joints and is responsible for the mechanical
distribution of loads across the joints. The majority of its structure and function is controlled by …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multifunctional proteins regulating cell growth,
differentiation, and apoptosis. BMP-2 signals via two types of receptors (BRI and BRII) that are …

The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play important roles in embryogenesis and normal
cell growth. The BMP receptors belong to the family of serine/threonine kinase receptors, …

Caveolae are small invaginations of the cell membrane that are thought to play a role in
important physiological functions such as cell surface signaling, endocytosis and intracellular …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multi-functional growth factors belonging to the
Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) superfamily. These proteins are essential to many …

Objective: To review current research findings in cell biology, epidemiology, preclinical, and
clinical trials on the protective effects of vitamin D against the development of cancers of the …

In the last decades, the North Sea has undergone intense environmental changes which
have led to regime shifts that affected all trophic levels. Since the 1970s, both increases and …

Background: BMP-2 (bone morphogenetic protein-2) signals via two types of transmembrane
serine/threonine kinase receptors (BRI and BRII), which form heteromeric complexes prior …
