The Multiple Phases and Faces of Wnt Signaling During Cardiac Differentiation and Development
22 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Understanding heart development on a molecular level is a prerequisite for uncovering the causes of congenital heart diseases. Therapeutic approaches that try to enhance cardiac regeneration or that involve the differentiation of resident cardiac progenitor cells or patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells will also benefit tremendously from this knowledge. Wnt proteins have been shown to play multiple...
