Endogenous Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Is Required for Cardiac Differentiation in Human Embryonic Stem Cells
15 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is an important regulator of differentiation and morphogenesis that can also control stem cell fates. Our group has developed an efficient protocol to generate cardiomyocytes from human embryonic stem (ES) cells via induction with activin A and BMP4. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We tested the hypothesis that Wnt/beta-catenin signals control both early mesoderm induction...
