Common Partner Smad-Independent Canonical Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling in the Specification Process of the Anterior Rhombic Lip during Cerebellum Development
5 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is critical for cerebellum development. However, the details of receptor regulated-Smad (R-Smad) and common partner Smad (Co-Smad, or Smad4) involvement are unclear. Here, we report that cerebellum-specific double conditional inactivation of Smad1 and Smad5 (Smad1/5) results in cerebellar hypoplasia, reduced granule cell numbers, and disorganized Purkinje neuron...
