Haemogenic endocardium contributes to transient definitive haematopoiesis. [PDF]
, 2013 Haematopoietic cells arise from spatiotemporally restricted domains in the developing embryo. Although studies of non-mammalian animal and in vitro embryonic stem cell models suggest a close relationship among cardiac, endocardial and haematopoietic ...

Homeobox oncogene activation by pan-cancer DNA hypermethylation
Genome Biology, 2018 Cancers have long been recognized to be not only genetically but also epigenetically distinct from their tissues of origin. Although genetic alterations underlying oncogene upregulation have been well studied, to what extent epigenetic mechanisms, such ...

Checklist: Vertebrate homeo☐ genes
Mechanisms of Development, 1996 Up to now around 170 different homeobox genes have been cloned from vertebrate genomes. A compilation of the various isolates from mouse, chick, frog, fish and man is presented in the form of a concise checklist, including the designations from the original publications.

Pax1 and Pax9 activate Bapx1 to induce chondrogenic differentiation in the sclerotome. [PDF]
, 2003 We have previously shown that the paired-box transcription factors Pax1 and Pax9 synergistically act in the proper formation of the vertebral column. Nevertheless, downstream events of the Pax1/Pax9 action and their target genes remain to be elucidated ...

Potential use of human periapical cyst-mesenchymal stem cells (hPCy-MSCs) as a novel stem cell source for regenerative medicine applications [PDF]
, 2017 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are attracting growing interest by the scientific community due to their huge regenerative potential. Thus, the plasticity of MSCs strongly suggests the utilization of these cells for regenerative medicine applications.

A small population of hypothalamic neurons govern fertility: the critical role of VAX1 in GnRH neuron development and fertility maintenance. [PDF]
, 2016 Fertility depends on the correct maturation and function of approximately 800 gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the brain. GnRH neurons are at the apex of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis that regulates fertility. In adulthood, GnRH

Chromatin status and transcription factor binding to gonadotropin promoters in gonadotrope cell lines. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundProper expression of key reproductive hormones from gonadotrope cells of the pituitary is required for pubertal onset and reproduction. To further our understanding of the molecular events taking place during embryonic development, leading to ...

Engrailed Homeobox Genes Regulate Establishment of the Cerebellar Afferent Circuit Map
Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 The spatial organization of the cerebellar afferent map has remarkable correspondence to two aspects of intrinsic patterning within the cerebellum embodied by a series of lobules and Purkinje cell (PC)-striped gene expression. Using male and female mice,

Homeobox and Polycomb target gene methylation in human solid tumors
Scientific ReportsDNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that plays an important role in defining cancer phenotypes, with global hypomethylation and focal hypermethylation at CpG islands observed in tumors. These methylation marks can also be used to define tumor types and
