Assessment of BMP responses in an

The assay presented here was designed to assess the immediate effects of ethanol (EtOH) exposure on intracellular signaling activated by BMPs (Bone Morphogenetic Proteins). Previous reports of the relationship between EtOH exposure and BMP-dependent signaling have primarily assessed the expression of individual BMPs, changes in BMP target genes or effects on the phosphorylation level of key downstream mediators after days or weeks of
