The Snail genes as inducers of cell movement and survival: implications in development and cancer
The functions of the Snail family of zinc-finger transcription factors are essential during embryonic development. One of their best-known functions is to induce epithelial to m...
The Mouse Snail Gene Encodes a Key Regulator of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
Snail family genes encode DNA binding zinc finger proteins that act as transcriptional repressors. Mouse embryos deficient for the Snail (Sna) gene exhibit defects in the format...
Pivotal roles for eomesodermin during axis formation,epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition and endoderm specification in the mouse
The T-box transcription factor eomesodermin (Eomes) has been implicated as an important component in germ layer induction and patterning in vertebrate embryos. In the mouse, Eom...
Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells and Reporter Constructs to Detect Developmentally Regulated Genes
A strategy was devised for identifying regions of the mouse genome that are transcriptionally active in a temporally and spatially restricted manner during development. The appr...
A Role for the Wnt Gene Family in Hematopoiesis: Expansion of Multilineage Progenitor Cells
Abstract The microenvironment is a key regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and is a likely source of extracellular factors that control stem cell fate. A better underst...
