Misregulation of SDF1-CXCR4 Signaling Impairs Early Cardiac Neural Crest Cell Migration Leading to Conotruncal Defects
9 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Cardiac neural crest cells (NCs) contribute to heart morphogenesis by giving rise to a variety of cell types from mesenchyme of the outflow tract, ventricular septum, and semilunar valves to neurons of the cardiac ganglia and smooth muscles of the great arteries. Failure in cardiac NC development results in outflow and ventricular septation defects commonly observed in congenital heart diseases....
