## Abstract The distribution and staining intensity of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) 2, 4, 6, and 7 were assessed by immunohistochemistry in ectopic bone induced in Nu/Nu mice by Saos‐2 cell derived implants. Devitalized Saos‐2 cells or their extracts can induce endochondral bone formation whe
Expression of hepcidin, a key regulator of intestinal iron absorption, can be induced in vitro by several bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), including BMP2, BMP4 and BMP9 (refs. 1,2). However, in contrast to BMP6, expression of other BMPs is not regulated at the mRNA level by iron in vivo3, and the
## Abstract Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF‐β superfamily. TGF‐β can affect class switch recombination in human B cells, but whether BMPs also play a role have not been tested. We investigated the functional effects of exogenously added BMPs on CD27^−^ naive and CD27^+^ me
