Summary: By studying the presentation of matrix-bound BMPs on films of controlled stiffness, it was found that different BMP members have specific effects on cell adhesion and differentiation of skeletal progenitors. This response involves certain BMP receptors and beta chain integrins and is dependent on the stiffness of the substrate.

Summary: The automation of liquid-handling routines offers great potential for biomaterial fabrication, but requires special protocols. In this study, a fully automated workflow using a liquid-handling robot was introduced to fabricate biomimetic platforms, and the cell response was characterized using automated image acquisition and analysis. The molecular surface density of the biomimetic platforms was characterized in situ using fluorescence-based image correlation spectroscopy.

Summary: This article investigates the decoupling of functions between ALK3 and BMPRII, and demonstrates that BMP2 stimulation controls the spatial organization of BMPRs by segregating ALK3 from BMPRII and recruiting it to beta 3 integrin-containing focal adhesions. The findings suggest that the spatial control of ALK3 in focal adhesions is crucial for cell adhesion processes and the stability of SMAD. The study sheds light on the interplay between integrins and BMP receptors in guiding adhesive processes.
