Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling controls various aspects of organogenesis, including skeletal development. We previously demonstrated that the pro-BMP function of Crossveinless 2 (Cv2) is required for axial and non-axial skeletal development in mice. Here, we showed that skeletal defects in the Cv2-null mutant were reversed by the additional deletion of Twisted gastrulation (Tsg). Whereas the Cv2(-/-)...
