Both beta-catenin and plakoglobin can stimulate the expression of Lef/Tcf target genes in vitro. beta-Catenin is known to associate with Lef/Tcf factors and to participate directly in transactivation in vivo, whereas the role of plakoglobin in transcriptio ...
Vascular remodeling is defined as any enduring change in the size and composition of an adult blood vessel, allowing adaptation or repair. The vascular remodeling response has been shown to depend on a variety of endogenous and environmental factors. Physi ...
Mammary glands, like other skin appendages such as hair follicles and teeth, develop from the surface epithelium and underlying mesenchyme; however, the molecular controls of embryonic mammary development are largely unknown. We find that activation of the ...
By conditional gene ablation in mice, we found that beta-catenin, an essential downstream effector of canonical Wnt signaling, is a key regulator of formation of the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) and of the dorsal-ventral axis of the limbs. By generation o ...
Recent developments in computational modeling of human arteries have opened the possibility of performing subject-specific analyses on increasingly larger numbers of subjects. This achievement will eventually lead to a better understanding of the role of g ...
Wnt signals control decisive steps in development and can induce the formation of tumors. Canonical Wnt signals control the formation of the embryonic axis, and are mediated by stabilization and interaction of beta-catenin with Lef/Tcf transcription factor ...
During gastrulation, a cascade of inductive tissue interactions converts pre-existing polarity in the mammalian embryo into antero-posterior pattern. This process is triggered by Nodal, a protein related to transforming growth factor-beta (TFG-beta) that i ...
The development of tissues and organs in embryos is controlled by an interplay of several signaling pathways that cross-talk to provide positional information and induce cell fate specification. One of the major signaling systems is the Wnt pathway which w ...
We tested the hypothesis that the cytosolic free calcium concentration in endothelial cells is under the influence of the smooth muscle cells in the coronary circulation. In the left descending branch of porcine coronary arteries, cytosolic free calcium co ...
The goal of the present study was to analyze the intercellular calcium communication between smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) by simultaneously monitoring artery diameter and intracellular calcium concentration in a rat mesenteric art ...
