This work adds to the growing evidence that BMPs are involved in many aspects of development, especially skeletogenesis. These authors identify the control sequences that regulate expression of the mouse Bmp5 gene in specific skeletal structures and soft tissues. These control sequences have remarkable specificity for particular components of the skeleton, rather than for cartilage and bone in general. Collectively, these findings indicate that the skeleton is generated by many independent domains of BMP expression, each being controlled by separate regulatory elements driving expression at specific anatomic locations.

Genes Dev 1998, 12:1438-1452. This paper demonstrates how proper embryonic patterning depends on a delicate balance between inductive signals and their specific antagonists. These authors show that Noggin, which encodes an antagonist of BMP, is necessary for normal development. Their data indicate that the normal patterning of the vertebrate neural tube and somites requires the inhibition of BMP signaling by Noggin.

Mech Dev 1998, 71:65-76. This investigation is an important contribution to our understanding of proteins that regulate bone development. These authors study the role of Indian hedgehog (Ihh) in chondrocyte differentiation. Most significantly, they find that the same molecules controlling endochondral ossification in embryos are also expressed during adult bone growth and fracture repair. These results suggest that such events are regulated by similar molecular mechanisms.

Cell 1998, in press. These researchers used targeted deletion of a metalloproteinase to illustrate the importance of vascularization in endochondral ossification of bone. The results emphasize the transition from mature to hypertrophic cartilage, the role of programmed cell death, and the eventual replacement of cartilage by bone using a variety of in vivo and in vitro techniques. In addition, their findings have an impact on our understanding of other genetic defects in which bone formation is altered.
