Pten regulates neural crest proliferation and differentiation during mouse craniofacial development
8 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome TEN (Pten) is implicated in a broad range of developmental events and diseases. However, its role in neural crest and craniofacial development has not been well illustrated. RESULTS: Using genetically engineered mouse models, we showed that inactivating Pten specifically in neural crest cells causes malformation of craniofacial structures. Pten...
