skeletal muscle and skeletal muscle precursors, and on cell culture experiments, all of which pointed to functions in specification of myoblasts and execution of muscle differentiation. The major muscle phenotypes The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas described thus far are the failure of muscle differentiation in mice homozygous for myogenin null mutations Dallas, Texas...

INTRODUCTION The transcriptional regulatory networks that direct muscle precursor cell specification and the expression of muscle structural genes have been well defined. However, the possible post-transcriptional contribution to mesoderm development is only beginning to come to light (Biedermann et al., 2010; Toledano-Katchalski et al., 2007; Yarnitzky et al., 1998). The unique properties of D...

Conventional coronary angiography has significant limitations in quantifying the severity and functional significance of coronary stenoses. However, coronary reactive hyperemia is an excellent physiologic indicator of coronary reserve. Digital subtraction angiography offers the potential to analyze coronary blood flow dynamics quantitatively. Therefore we assessed the accuracy of digital angiog...

More children die from congenital heart disease (CHD) each year than are diagnosed with cancer. Although CHD is the most common human birth defect, the etiology of the vast majority of CHDs remains unknown. The difficulty in elucidating the molecular and genetic bases for CHD reflects the complex nature of this and other birth defects. Most CHD occurs sporadically, but the recurrence risk in su...

Cephalopods have the most sophisticated dynamic skin coloration for rapidly camouflage in nature. Previous studies have suggested that the pair of optic lobes located bilaterally in their brain plays a key role in controlling the expansion of chromatophores for generating diverse body patterns. However, the functional organization of the optic lobes and their neural control of various body patt...
