M. Follmer went to the CO State Capitol to talk to representatives about our important work showing that nicotine vaping during pregnancy disrupts fetal development. We came to this hypothesis from our pure/basic science research. Republicans & dems valued it. Call your reps to Fund science!

We discovered mouse embryonic palate mesenchymal cells are electrically active. They release Bone morphogenetic protein BMP when they depolarize. Published today in Nature Communications 🧪 rdcu.be/dZX7V
Depolarization induces calcium-dependent BMP4 release from mouse embryonic palate mesenchymal cells
Nature Communications - BMP signaling is important for multiple process, including craniofacial development, but relatively little is known about how BMP ligands are secreted. Here they show that...

We discovered that mouse embryonic palate mesenchymal cells are electrically active and send out BMP when they depolarize. We are excited to announce this work is published in Nature Communications. #womeninstem #devbio rdcu.be/dZX7V
