Mesodermal Deletion of Transforming Growth Factor-β Receptor II Disrupts Lung Epithelial Morphogenesis
7 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, Sonic hedgehog (Shh) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathways occur in an overlapping manner in many morphogenetic processes. In vitro data indicate that the two pathways may interact. Whether such interactions occur during embryonic development remains unknown. Using embryonic lung morphogenesis as a model, we generated transgenic mice in which exon 2 of the TbetaRII...
