Conditional Ablation of Nonmuscle Myosin II-B Delineates Heart Defects in Adult Mice
9 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Germline ablation of the cytoskeletal protein nonmuscle myosin II (NMII)-B results in embryonic lethality, with defects in both the brain and heart. Tissue-specific ablation of NMII-B by a Cre recombinase strategy should prevent embryonic lethality and permit study of the function of NMII-B in adult hearts. OBJECTIVE: We sought to understand the function of NMII-B in adult mouse hearts and to see...
