| Research Abstract |
The fine-tuning of BMP signals is critical for many aspects of complex organogenesis. We show that the augmentation of BMP signaling by a BMP-binding secreted factor, Crossveinless2 (Cv2), is essential for the early embryonic development of mammalian nephrons and also that Cv2 exerts its pro-BMP nephrogenic function Tsg- dependently. We published these findings in the journal "Develpmental Biology".
