Melanocyte-like cells in the heart and pulmonary veins contribute to atrial arrhythmia triggers.

10 Oct 2009 Atrial fibrillation is the most common clinical cardiac arrhythmia. It is often initiated by ectopic beats arising from the pulmonary veins and atrium, but the source and mechanism of these beats remains unclear. The melanin synthesis enzyme ... Read more...

Receptor-like kinases shape the plant.

29 Sep 2009 To generate the various tissues and organs that build up the adult body, plants and animals require organized formative cell divisions and correct cell specification. In plants, these processes are controlled mainly by phytohormones and ... Read more...

A role for C. elegans Eph RTK signaling in PTEN regulation.

29 Sep 2009 PTEN is one of the most commonly lost tumor suppressors in human cancer and is known to inhibit insulin signaling. Eph receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) have also been implicated in cancer formation and progression, and they have diverse functions, ... Read more...
