Figure 1 Twist1 Coordinates Skull and Venous Development through BMP Signaling Twist1+ osteoprogenitor cells (Osteo-PCs) express BMP2 and BMP4 that act on venous endothelial cells during skull formation (beige). In human craniosynostosis, loss of osteo-PC Twist1 results in defective formation of both the skull and the associated cranial venous system (blue) without disturbing arterial development (red).
