Loss of bone morphogenetic protein-binding endothelial regulator causes insulin resistance

Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic inflammation of metabolic tissues plays a causal role in obesity-induced insulin resistance. Yet, how specific endothelial factors impact metabolic tissues remains undefined. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)–binding endothelial regulator (BMPER) adapts endothelial cells to inflammatory stress in diverse organ microenvironments. Here, we demonstrate that BMPER is a driver of insulin sensitivity. Both...
