ChIP-seq analysis reveals BMP signaling targets in a cnidarian and identifies ZSWIM4-6 as a dampener of the pSMAD1/5 gradient and a potential conveyor of the BMP-mediated gene repression.

SMOC inhibits BMP signaling locally, but also expands the range of BMP signaling by competing for heparan sulfate binding sites.

The non-signaling complex formed by Activin A and ACVR1 is operant in vivo and is required to temper the degree of heterotopic ossification in the genetic disorder fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.

BMP-dependent retinoic acid signaling is responsible for the separation of central from peripheral lineages during neural development.

N-glycanase 1 is required for a BMP autoregulatory loop in the visceral mesoderm and for intestinal development in Drosophila.

Disrupted mesenchymal Bmpr1a-mediated signaling in fetal mouse lung leads to abnormal airway development and congenital pulmonary cyst formation.

The oncogenic role ligand-dependent BMP signaling plays in suppressing differentiation in melanoma is a reiteration of its physiological roles during melanocyte development.

Cell and animal-based models revealed the new function of TLR2 andcarboxyethylpyrrole as an endogenous TLR2 ligand in the hair follicle cycle in homeostasis and hair follicle regeneration in injury.

During the evolution of insect lineages, a signaling pathway dedicated to pathogen defense was co-opted for a new role in embryonic patterning.

Fate-mapping, combined with gain- and loss-of-function approaches, reveal the role of BMP signalling in the spatio-temporal development of the tuberal hypothalamus, a critically important brain region.
