Actin cytoskeleton dynamics support and coordinate signaling events that control cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. Growth factors provide essential signals that act on multi-protein complexes that regulate actin assembly with myosin. We previously analyzed the action of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and now extend our studies to the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 7, an important regulator of stem cell function and bone differentiation.
