<i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> BMP Transcriptional Program Implicates Collagen Genes in Body Size Regulation

2017-02-13

Abstract excerpt

Body size is a tightly regulated phenotype in metazoans that is dependent on both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. While signaling pathways such as insulin, Hippo, and myostatin are known to control organ and body size, the downstream effectors that mediate their effects are still poorly understood. In the nematode C. elegans , a Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-related signaling pathway is the major regulator of...
