DKK3 (Dikkopf-3) Transdifferentiates Fibroblasts Into Functional Endothelial Cells—Brief Report
28 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Objective- To determine the role of a cytokine-like protein DKK3 (dikkopf-3) in directly transdifferentiating fibroblasts into endothelial cells (ECs) and the underlying mechanisms. Approach and Results- DKK3 overexpression in human fibroblasts under defined conditions for 4 days led to a notable change in cell morphology and progenitor gene expression. It was revealed that these cells went through...
