Growth retardation and increased apoptosis in mice with homozygous disruption of the Akt1 gene

WS Chen, PZ Xu, K Gottlob, ML Chen… - Genes & …, 2001 - genesdev.cshlp.org
The serine/threonine kinase Akt has been implicated in the control of cell survival and
metabolism. Here we report the disruption of the most ubiquitously expressed member of theakt …

Dwarfism, impaired skin development, skeletal muscle atrophy, delayed bone development, and impeded adipogenesis in mice lacking Akt1 and Akt2

X Peng, PZ Xu, ML Chen… - Genes & …, 2003 - genesdev.cshlp.org
To elucidate the functions of the serine/threonine kinase Akt/PKB in vivo, we generated mice

DC Weinstein, AR i Altaba, WS Chen, P Hoodless… - Cell, 1994 - cell.com
HNF-36, a transcription factor of the winged-helix family, is expressed in embryonic and
adult endoderm and also in midline cells of the node, notochord, and floor plate in mouse …

Disruption of the HNF-4 gene, expressed in visceral endoderm, leads to cell death in embryonic ectoderm and impaired gastrulation of mouse embryos.

WS Chen, K Manova, DC Weinstein… - Genes & …, 1994 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Expression of HNF-4, a transcription factor in the steroid hormone receptor superfamily, is
detected only in the visceral endoderm of mouse embryos during gastrulation and is …

Akt1 regulates pathological angiogenesis, vascular maturation and permeability in vivo

J Chen, PR Somanath, O Razorenova, WS Chen… - Nature medicine, 2005 - nature.com
