TL;DR: Functional biomechanical properties of periostin null skin specimens and atrioventricular valve explant experiments provided direct evidence of the role that periastin plays in regulating the viscoelastic properties of connective tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endoderm and heart development.
John Lough,Yukiko Sugi +1 more
TL;DR: It now appears that endoderm‐derived growth factors regulate the formation of both myocardial and endocardial cells during specification, terminal differentiation, and perhaps morphogenesis of cells in the developing embryonic heart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined BMP-2 and FGF-4, but Neither Factor Alone, Induces Cardiogenesis in Non-Precardiac Embryonic Mesoderm
TL;DR: In this article, a degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screen was used to identify cDNAs in the decapentaplegic subgroup of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family.
RAPID COMMUNICATION Combined BMP-2 and FGF-4, but Neither Factor Alone, Induces Cardiogenesis in Non-Precardiac Embryonic Mesoderm
TL;DR: Treatment of non-precardiac mesoderm with combined BMP-2 and FGF-4 induced cardiogenesis in the majority of explants, as revealed by the formation of a rhythmically contractile multicellular vesicle that expresses sarcomeric alpha-actin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 can mediate myocardial regulation of atrioventricular cushion mesenchymal cell formation in mice.
TL;DR: Data indicated that BMP signaling is required in and BMP-2 is sufficient for myocardial segmental regulation of AV endocardial cushion mesenchymal cell formation in mice.
