## Abstract Growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) is a novel member of the transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) superfamily of multifunctional cytokines. We show here that GDF5 is expressed in the developing CNS including the mesencephalon and acts as a neurotrophic, survival promoting molecule fo
Bone morphogenic protein-7 (BMP-7) is a key protein involved in liver organogenesis and development. The physiological circulating concentration of BMP-7 is between 100 and 300 pg/ml. BMP-7 expression is absent in the liver, but the receptors for BMP-7 are present on adult hepatocytes. Therefore, we
