Can early B-type natriuretic peptide assays predict symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in extremely low birth weight infants?
BNP levels at 24 h of age can be used as a guide for early targeted treatment of hsPDA and avoid the unnecessary use of cyclooxygenase inhibitors in ELBW infants.
BMP-10 inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells due largely to induced apoptosis via Smad independent signaling in which XIAP and ERK1/2 are involved. BMP-10 can also prevent prostate cancer cell migration and invasiveness. This suggests that BMP-10 may function as a tumor suppressor and apoptosis regulator for prostate cancer.
