Thar's tendons in them thar valves!

In this issue of Circulation Research, Levay et al report an in vivo requirement for scleraxis (scx) during murine valvulogenesis and demonstrate its role in cell lineage differentiation and matrix distribution in remodeling valve structures.1 The scleraxis (Scx) gene encodes a basic helix–loop– helix transcription factor that is expressed in the progenitors and cells of all tendon tissues.2 Re...
