Bone morphogenetic protein signaling protects against cerulein-induced pancreatic fibrosis.

Bone morphogenetic protein signaling protects against cerulein-induced pancreatic fibrosis.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have an anti-fibrogenic function in the kidney, lung, and liver. However, their role in chronic pancreatitis (CP) is unknown. The aim of this study was to define the anti-fibrogenic role of BMP signaling in the pancreas in vivo under CP induction. Mice with a delet...
