Effects of Bone Morphogenic Proteins on Neural Precursor Cells and Regulation during Central Nervous System Injury
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are well known for their influence on cell fate determination, proliferation and differentiation during early embryogenesis. Here, we review evidence for BMPs playing an additional, ongoing role in the proliferation and differentiation of neural precursor and progenitor cells in postnatal and adult central nervous system (CNS) and in CNS injury. The effects of BMPs on CNS cells...
