BMP4 acts upstream of FGF in modulating thymic stroma and regulating thymopoiesis
19 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Thymocyte development is a non-cell-autonomous process that requires signals provided by the thymic stroma. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) derived from thymic stroma have been implicated as possible regulators of T-cell development. Using thymic organ culture, this study demonstrates that both BMP4 and FGF7/FGF10 arrest early T-cell development at the CD4-CD8-CD44+CD25-...
