Abstract excerpt
TGF beta family members are implicated in cardiac organogenesis, growth control, and positional information, including the direction of cardiac looping. However, genetic analysis of TGF beta signaling in mice has been confounded, in some cases, by noncardiac and generalized defects. Hence, deciph...
