Due to the lack of success in small-diameter (<6 mm) prosthetic vascular grafts, a variety of strategies have evolved utilizing a tissue-engineering approach. Much of this work has focused on enhancing the endothelialization of these grafts. A healthy, confluent endothelial layer provides dynam
Functional dissection of Pax3 in paraxial mesoderm development and myogenesis.
Magli A, Schnettler E, Rinaldi F, Bremer P, Perlingeiro RC.SourceDepartment of Medicine, Lillehei Heart Institute, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455, USA.
The paired box transcription factor Pax3 is well-known as a major regulator of embryonic myogenesis. Before Pax3 expression becomes restricted to the dermomyotome, this transcription factor is also expressed in the developing somites. The role of Pax3 at this early stage is unclear, in particular be

SCOPE: Poor nutrition during the perinatal period is associated with an increased risk for metabolic syndrome in adulthood. Taurine (TAU) regulates β-cell function and glucose homeo-stasis. Here, we assessed the effects of TAU supplementation upon adiposity and glucose control in malnourished mice
