Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth and differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily that have been implicated in tissue growth and differentiation. Several BMPs are expressed in embryonic and adult brain. We show now that BMP-2, -6 and -7 and GDF5 are expressed in the embryonic rat hindbrain raphe. To...
