METHODS RELATED TO ACTIVATION OF THE BONE MORPHOGENIC PROTEIN SIGNALING PATHWAY

摘要

In one aspect, compounds and compositions that activate BMP signaling and methods of making and using same are disclosed. The disclosed compounds and compositions can be useful for disorders associated with diminished BMP signaling such as, for example, cancer, juvenile polyposis syndrome, hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension, obesity osteosporosis, and chronic kidney disease. The disclosed compounds and compositions can also be useful in cartilage repair and bone formation. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
