Transdifferentiation of esophageal smooth to skeletal muscle is myogenic bHLH factor-dependent
15 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Previously, coexpression of smooth and skeletal differentiation markers, but not myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), was observed from E16.5 mouse fetuses in a small percentage of diaphragm level esophageal muscle cells, suggesting that MRFs are not involved in the process of initiation of developmentally programmed transdifferentiation in the esophagus. To investigate smooth-to-skeletal esophageal muscle...
