Journal ArticleDOI

ASK1 is required for sustained activations of JNK/p38 MAP kinases and apoptosis

TL;DR: It is shown that by deleting ASK1 in mice, TNF‐ and H2O2‐induced sustained activations of JNK and p38 are lost inASK1−/− embryonic fibroblasts, and that ASK 1−-/− cells are resistant to TNF- and H1N1‐induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flt-1 lacking the tyrosine kinase domain is sufficient for normal development and angiogenesis in mice

TL;DR: Results indicate that Flt-1 without tyrosine kinase domain is sufficient to allow embryonic development with normal angiogenesis, and that a receptor tyrosin kinase plays a main biological role as a ligand-binding molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

Placental defect and embryonic lethality in mice lacking hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that homozygous mutant embryos have severely impaired placentas with markedly reduced numbers of labyrinthine trophoblast cells, and die before birth, suggesting that HGF/SF is an essential mediator of mesenchyme-trophoblastic epithelia interaction required for placental organogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

BMP type II receptor is required for gastrulation and early development of mouse embryos.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the function of BMPR-II is essential for epiblast differentiation and mesoderm induction during early mouse development.
