Matrix Gla protein maintains normal and malignant hematopoietic progenitor cells by interacting with bone morphogenetic protein-4

Matrix Gla protein (MGP), a modulator of the BMP-SMAD signals, inhibits arterial calcification in a Glu γ-carboxylation dependent manner but the role of MGP highly expressed in a subset of bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem/stromal cells is unknown. Here we provide evidence that MGP might be a niche...
