TGFβ signaling and congenital heart disease: Insights from mouse studies
28 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) regulates one of the major signaling pathways that control tissue morphogenesis. In vitro experiments using heart explants indicated the importance of this signaling pathway for the generation of cushion mesenchymal cells, which ultimately contribute to the valves and septa of the mature heart. Recent advances in mouse genetics have enabled in vivo investigation into the roles...
