Article Synopsis
- Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play a key role in the development and differentiation of bone and cartilage, particularly through their interactions with specific receptors on cells.
- In mouse chondrocyte precursor cells (ATDC5), the protein MSK1 is rapidly activated by BMP-6 stimulation, influencing the differentiation processes when either overexpressed or suppressed.
- The study highlights the involvement of both p38 kinase pathways and Smad proteins in BMP-6-induced chondrocyte differentiation, indicating that MSK1 activation is essential for these processes.
