Seven BMPs and all their receptors are simultaneously expressed in osteosarcoma cells

Abstract excerpt

Members of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and their receptors (BMPRs and activin receptors-ActRs) promote the development of bones with a fine regulation of their expression. Mutations in BMPs or BMPRs cause several diseases, as shown in knockout mice, such as skeletal defects, familial primary pulmonary hypertension and neoplasias. Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary malignant tumor of bone....
