:
In chick mandibles, exogenous bone morphogenetic protein ( BMP ) induces Msx expression and together with fibroblast growth factor promotes the development of Sonic hedgehog expressing epithelial structures
Tribulo et al., Development 2003
:
All the results show that a reduction in the level of Bmp activity leads to an increase in the expression of Msx genes in the neural plate border
Liu et al., Dev Biol 2005
:
Furthermore, our data uncovered different Bmp4 thresholds for expression of the Bmp dependent Msx1 and Msx2 genes in mandibular mesenchyme
Chen et al., J Exp Zool 1998
:
BMPs may in some cases trigger the cell death cascade, while Msx gene products regulate Bmp expression
