Expression patterns of bone morphogenetic protein antagonists in colorectal cancer desmoplastic invasion fronts
19 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors with dual functions in cancer development and progression. Recently, certain tumor-promoting roles have been identified for selected antagonists/inhibitors (BMPIs) of this developmental pathway. A recent focus on the implication of BMP in colorectal cancer progression has emerged, mainly due to the presence of inactivating mutations in several...
