Defective ALK5 signaling in the neural crest leads to increased postmigratory neural crest cell apoptosis and severe outflow tract defects
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital cardiovascular diseases are the most common form of birth defects in humans. A substantial portion of these defects has been associated with inappropriate induction, migration, differentiation and patterning of pluripotent cardiac neural crest stem cells. While TGF-beta-superfamily signaling has been strongly implicated in neural crest cell development, the detailed molecular signaling...
