Epicardium-derived cells contribute a novel population to the myocardial wall and the atrioventricular cushionsA C Gittenberger-de Groot
Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands
Circ Res 82:1043-52. 1998..Furthermore, a regulatory role is postulated in the process of endocardial-mesenchymal transformation. The ultimate fate of EPDCs seems to be a cardiac fibroblast cell line involved in the formation of the fibrous heart skeleton...
Epicardial outgrowth inhibition leads to compensatory mesothelial outflow tract collar and abnormal cardiac septation and coronary formationA C Gittenberger-de Groot
Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
Circ Res 87:969-71. 2000..Heterospecific epicardial transplant is able to partially rescue the myocardial development, as well as septation and coronary formation...
Smoothelin expression during chicken embryogenesis: detection of an embryonic isoformM C DeRuiter
Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
Dev Dyn 221:460-3. 2001..Expression of the smoothelin isoforms seems to be strictly controlled with respect to cell type and developmental stage and may be related to the mode of contraction of the different cells...
Expression of Id2 in the second heart field and cardiac defects in Id2 knock-out miceM R M Jongbloed
Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
Dev Dyn 240:2561-77. 2011..Our results indicate a role for Id2 in the second heart field contribution at both the arterial and the venous poles of the heart...
Cell tracking using iron oxide fails to distinguish dead from living transplanted cells in the infarcted heartE M Winter
Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
Magn Reson Med 63:817-21. 2010..Iron labeling is inadequate for determining the fate of transplanted cells in the immunodeficient host, since dead cells produce an MRI signal indistinguishable from incorporated living cells...
Loss of function of the Prx1 and Prx2 homeobox genes alters architecture of the great elastic arteries and ductus arteriosusM Bergwerff
Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Leiden University Medical Centre, P O Box 9602, 2300 RC Leiden, The Netherlands
Virchows Arch 436:12-9. 2000..The current findings suggest that other genes may compensate for the loss of Prx in the heart, but, in contrast, our data support a role for Prx in the development of vascular and perivascular matrix...
Expression patterns of the paired-related homeobox genes MHox/Prx1 and S8/Prx2 suggest roles in development of the heart and the forebrainB Leussink
Hubrecht Laboratory, Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology, Utrecht
Mech Dev 52:51-64. 1995..Prx2 is never expressed in the brain, whereas Prx1 is expressed, from at least day 9.5 onwards, in a unique distinct domain in the ventral part of the hypothalamus, as well as in a broader region of the telencephalon...
TGFbeta2 knockout mice have multiple developmental defects that are non-overlapping with other TGFbeta knockout phenotypesL P Sanford
Department of Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology, University of Cincinnati, OH 45267, USA
Development 124:2659-70. 1997..There is no phenotypic overlap with TGFbeta1- and TGFbeta3-null mice indicating numerous non-compensated functions between the TGFbeta isoforms...
Differential expression of alpha-6 and other subunits of laminin binding integrins during development of the murine heartB P Hierck
Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Leiden University, The Netherlands
Dev Dyn 206:100-11. 1996..This study suggests a distinct role for alpha-6-beta-1 in the heart and provides insight concerning probably important roles of integrins and their extracellular matrix ligands during embryonic development...
Congenital polyvalvular disease: a reviewU Bartram
Department of Pediatric Cardiology, University Children's Hospital Kiel, Germany
Pediatr Cardiol 22:93-101. 2001..Two cases are used for exemplification. The macroscopic and histologic features of the valves as well as associated cardiac lesions and clinical syndromes are described, followed by a discussion of morphogenesis of this disease...
Frizzled 2 is transiently expressed in neural crest-containing areas during development of the heart and great arteries in the mouseM E van Gijn
Department of Pharmacology, Universiteit Maastricht, The Netherlands
Anat Embryol (Berl) 203:185-92. 2001..This expression is downregulated upon neural crest cell differentiation. The frizzled 2 expression supports a role for the Wnt-frizzled pathway in neural crest-related disorders...
Magnetic resonance microscopy at 17.6-Tesla on chicken embryos in vitroB Hogers
Department of Anatomy, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
J Magn Reson Imaging 14:83-6. 2001..Thus, ultra high field is beneficial for MRM and opens new areas for functional imaging research, in particular when SNR, resolution, and contrast are limited by acquisition time...
Expression of the beta 4 integrin subunit in the mouse heart during embryonic development: retinoic acid advances beta 4 expressionB P Hierck
Department of Anatomy and Embryology, University of Leiden, The Netherlands
Dev Dyn 207:89-103. 1996..Several hypotheses on the mechanism of beta 4 up-regulation and a possible role for alpha 6 beta 4 in the development of heart malformations after the administration of retinoic acid are discussed...
