Abstract excerpt
Genetic analyses in mice have contributed significantly to the understanding of the physiological functions of platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors. Phenotypic analyses of gene knockouts of PDGF-A, PDGF-B, PDGF alpha-receptors (PDGFRalpha) and beta-receptors (PDGFRbeta) have shown that these ligands and receptors play major roles during embryonic development. Conditional and subtle...
