BMPR2 acts as a gatekeeper to protect endothelial cells from increased TGFβ responses and altered cell mechanics.

BMPR2 acts as a gatekeeper to protect endothelial cells from increased TGFβ responses and altered cell mechanics.

Balanced transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ)/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-signaling is essential for tissue formation and homeostasis. While gain in TGFβ signaling is often found in diseases, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here we show that the receptor BMP type 2 (...
