Role of bone morphogenetic proteins in cardiac differentiation
22 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) are involved in the regulation of a plethora of processes underlying cardiovascular development. This review summarizes the effects of BMP and the signaling pathways that regulate the differentiation of cardiomyocytes from mesoderm in the heart-forming region and at the distal borders of the heart tube from the second heart field. Subsequently, the role of BMPs in the formation...
