BMP6 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Both BMP-2 and BMP-6 can similarly attenuate kidney fibrosis in rodent models of kidney disease (Yang et al., 2009; Dendooven et al., 2011), and BMP-6 expression is increased in humans and mice suffering non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and is protective for hepatic fibrosis (Arndt et al., 2015).
