Smad4 controls signaling robustness and morphogenesis by differentially contributing to the Nodal and BMP pathways

Luca Guglielmi et al.

Summary: The absence of the transcriptional effector SMAD4 disrupts dorsal/ventral embryo patterning due to loss of BMP signaling, while Nodal signaling is maintained but lacks robustness. This highlights the differential requirement of SMAD4 for signaling by different TGF-beta family ligands, with implications for diseases where SMAD4 is mutated or deleted.
