With the reignited push for manned spaceflight and the development of companies focused
on commercializing spaceflight, increased human ventures into space are inevitable …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) make up a family of morphogens that are critical for
patterning, development, and function of the central and peripheral nervous system. Their …

The majority of human skeleton develops through the endochondral pathway, in which
cartilage-forming chondrocytes proliferate and enlarge into hypertrophic chondrocytes that …

Previously, we showed that after Freund's adjuvant-induced peritonitis, rat mesothelial cells
regain their epithelial phenotype through mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) …

Osteogenesis depends on a coordinated network of signals and transcription factors such as
Runx2 and Osterix. Recent evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) act as important …

The integration of cell extrinsic and intrinsic signals is required to maintain appropriate cell
physiology and homeostasis. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are cytokines that …

Organoids that recapitulate the functional hallmarks of anatomic structures comprise cell
populations able to self-organize cohesively in 3D. However, the rules underlying organoid …

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process in which fully differentiated epithelial
cells lose many of their epithelial characteristics and adopt features typical of mesenchymal …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have become integral nodes of post-transcriptional control of genes
that confer cellular identity and regulate differentiation. Cell-specific signaling and …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor β
(TGFβ) superfamily and have crucial roles during development; including mesodermal …
