Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Recent biological studies have elucidated the molecular mechanism of muscle development, in which various regulatory factors (myogenic regulatory factors [MRFs]) play key roles during embryogenesis. To investigate the development of anorectal malformations (ARMs), we studied MRF expressions in myogenic cells in the pelvic floor using murine embryos affected with ARM. METHODS: Anorectal...
