Intriguing extracellular regulation of BMP signaling
Abstract
Extracellular components of the BMP signaling pathway bind specific partners with high affinity, implying regulation by dedicated protein-protein interactions. In this and other recent issues of Developmental Cell, new results by Ambrosio et al. (and others) suggest, however, that these factors interact in more complex ways to regulate BMP signaling on a fine scale.
