Research cited in this study

3 / 3 results

research BAF200 Is Required for Heart Morphogenesis and Coronary Artery Development

30 citations , October 2014 in “PLOS ONE”

This study found that BAF200, a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex, is crucial for heart development and coronary artery formation in mice, as its absence led to embryonic lethality with severe cardiac defects.

research Brg1 Governs a Positive Feedback Circuit in the Hair Follicle for Tissue Regeneration and Repair

52 citations , April 2013 in “Developmental Cell”

This study found that Brg1, a chromatin-remodeling enzyme, plays a critical role in hair regeneration and early epidermal repair by regulating bulge stem cells through a Brg1-Shh interaction.

research Conditional Disruption of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Defines Its Critical Role in Hair Development and Regeneration

194 citations , May 2000 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study demonstrated that blocking the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in mice led to reversible inhibition of body coat hair morphogenesis, while whisker development was unaffected.
