Sema6D acts downstream of bone morphogenetic protein signalling to promote atrioventricular cushion development in mice

Abstract excerpt

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling plays a key role in regulating the development of the atrioventricular (AV) septum and valves; however, the molecules that mediate the complex activities of BMP signalling are not fully understood. The major goal of this study is to identify the critical downstream regulatory targets of BMP signalling in AV cushions, which are precursors of the AV septum and valves. We...
