Abstract excerpt
The formation of cardiac cushion tissue, which ultimately contributes to formation of the valves and septa, is dependent on the regional activation of cardiac endothelial cells to undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition. This endothelial transition was correlated with activin betaA mRNA expr...
