| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied whether BMP signaling pathways are involved in trans-axonal intercell-recognition in the central nervous system. And we found that BMPs, their receptors and their antagonists were abundantly expressed in cell bodies, dendrites, axons and extracellular space. This means that BMP signaling pathways are involved in trans-axonal intercell-recognition between projecting neurons and their receiving neurons. In future, we want to reveal which kinds of information are transmitted by this system.
