Abstract

The goal of this project was to follow up on preliminary data suggesting that nBmp2 directly activated transcription. A few months of follow-up experiments, however, showed that the original transcription data was not reproducible. At that point we turned our attention to two different questions about nBmp2 function: 1) Does nBMP-2 affect the cell cycle? 2) Is nBMP-2 involved in the immune response? These questions have each yielded interesting and important results that are leading toward publications and grant proposals.
