The planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway controls a variety of morphological events across
many species. During embryonic development, the PCP pathway regulates coordinated …

There were marked differences in the abilities of eight different soil materials to remove and
retain viruses from settled sewage, but for each soil material the behavior of two different …

The lungs are generated by branching morphogenesis as a result of reciprocal signalling
interactions between the epithelium and mesenchyme during development. Mutations that …

The planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway, incorporating non-canonical Wnt signalling, controls
embryonic convergent (CE) extension, polarized cell division and ciliary orientation. It also …

The recombinant protective antigen (rPA) of Bacillus anthracis is a promising anthrax vaccine.
We compared serum immunoglobulin G levels and toxin-neutralizing antibody titers in …

Schwann cell precursors, derivatives of the neural crest, generate Schwann cells in a
process that is tightly timed, well characterized, and directly controlled by axonal signals, in …

Background The planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling pathway is fundamental to a number of
key developmental events, including initiation of neural tube closure. Disruption of the PCP …

Background Genome-wide association studies have identified the ORM (yeast)-like protein
isoform 3 (ORMDL3) gene locus on human chromosome 17q to be a highly significant risk …

Damage to alveoli, the gas-exchanging region of the lungs, is a component of many chronic
and acute lung diseases. In addition, insufficient generation of alveoli results in …

Key gene families such as FGFs and BMPs are important mediators of branching morphogenesis.
To understand whether Wnt genes, and in particular, the canonical Wnt signaling …
