Abstract excerpt
The endothelin signaling pathway plays an important role in the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of neural crest cells. Mutations in the gene encoding the endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB) cause three symptoms: aganglionosis, pigmented disorder and hearing loss. In addition, the Ednrb null mice show abnormal splenic microarchitecture with lymphopenia. In this study, we examined whether similar...
