This paper is an evidence based practice paper. Across the United States, many universities, especially smaller, liberal arts universities, do not have the facilities to offer engineering degrees. One thing that has become very...
There are dozens of new technologies emerging each year and endless ways in which they can be used for teaching and learning. So many in fact, that most instructors are simply overwhelmed. Curt Bonk offers two simple yet...
A positive association between beta-carotene (BC)-rich food intake and a reduction in metabolic disorder incidence, including heart disease, is prevalent in humans. Similarly, preclinical research finds dietary BC...
Presented in the Active/Collaborative Learning track. and In Psychology of Religion (PSY/THL355), groups of students worked together to complete a large (24 x 36) Venn-diagram worksheet exploring the conceptual overlap and...
Presented in the Active/Collaborative Learning track. and Problem-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as a valuable pedagogical tool. The Biomedical Masters in Science (BMS) program is uniquely suited to promote...

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) constitute the largest subdivision of the transforming growth factor-? family of ligands. BMPs exhibit widespread utility and pleiotropic, context-dependent effects, and the strength and...
Genetic and functional studies indicate that common components of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway play critical roles in regulating vascular development in the embryo and in promoting vascular homeostasis...
The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type 2 receptor ligand, Bmp2, is upregulated in the peripheral pulmonary vasculature during hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH). This contrasts with the expression of Bmp4, which is...
Enhancing bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling increases bone formation in a variety of settings that target bone repair. However, the role of BMP in the maintenance of adult bone mass is not well understood. Targeted...
Initiation of BMP signaling is dependent upon activation of Type I BMP receptor by constitutively active Type II BMP receptor. Three Type II BMP receptors have been identified; Acvr2a and Acvr2b serve as receptors for BMPs and...
