Endothelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) is a critical event in the generation of the endocardial cushion, the primordia of the valves and septa of the adult heart. This embryonic phenomenon occurs in the outflow tract (OT) and atrioventricular (AV) canal of the embryonic heart in a spatiotempor
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), such as BMPβ7, growth factors, and cytokines, in the accumulation of superficial zone protein (SZP) in bovine articular cartilage. Calf superficial articular cartilage discs and chondrocytes wer
Capillary invasion is a vital regulatory signal during bone morphogenesis that is influenced by angiogenic molecules such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and some members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily, including TGF-betas themselves. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP
## Abstract ## Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by cartilage damage, synovial fibrosis, and osteophyte formation. Both transforming growth factor Ξ² (TGFΞ²) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMPβ2) can induce the formation of osteophytes during OA, but their specific role in this proce
## Abstract ## Objective To investigate the role of transforming growth factor Ξ² (TGFΞ²)/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) superfamily members on accumulation of superficial zone protein (SZP) in articular chondrocytes and synoviocytes. ## Methods Chondrocytes and synoviocytes were isolated from a
