According to recent research from Jena, Germany, " Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multifunctional regulators of various cell functions. The BMP-signalling network plays a pivotal role during embryogenesis and tumorigenesis. BMPs, e.g." "BMP-2 exert their biological function in a time and concentration-dependent manner but also modulated by the context of the cellular microenvironment. In this study, we investigated the effect of a steady high level of BMP-2 versus a single application of BMP-2 on the breast cancer cell line MCF-7. The effect of the incubation regimes was analysed by DNA microarray expression profiling. Data were verified by real-time PCR. The...
