Abstract excerpt
The uncoupling of osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity is central to disorders such as osteoporosis, osteolytic malignancies, and periodontitis. Numerous studies have shown explicit functions for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in skeletogenesis. Their signaling activity has been shown in various contexts to be regulated by extracellular proteins, including Twisted gastrulation (TWSG1). However, experimental...
