The myometrium is an important reproductive tissue composed primarily of smooth muscle cells. Contractility of the myometrial smooth muscle cells during the estrous cycle and pregnancy is modulated by estrogen. Despite much research, little is known about the molecular mechanism by which estrogen re...

Multi-center, prospective observational cohort study of individuals with congenital heart defects (CHD). Phenotypic data and source DNA of probands, parents, and families of interest are being collected to investigate relationships between genetic factors and phenotypic and clinical outcomes in p...

Microgravity leads to a 10-15% loss of bone mass in astronauts during space flight. Osteoclast is the multinucleated bone resorbing cell. In this study, we used NASA developed ground based Rotary Wall Vessel Bioreactor (RWV), Rotary Cell Culture System (RCCS) to simulate microgravity (μXg) conditio...

The goal of this study was to identify genes in C2C12 myoblasts whose expression was altered by overexpression of Smad3. Four total samples were analyzed. Two biological replicates were prepared from C2C12 cells infected with retroviral vector encoding wildtype Smad3 and exposed for 24 hours to 100 ...

The mechanisms involved in epithelium-stroma interactions remain poorly understood, despite the importance of the microenvironment during tumorigenesis. Here, we studied the role of the Ets2 transcription factor in tumor-associated fibroblasts in the MMTV-PyMT mammary tumor model. Inactivation of ...

Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that express ?-smooth-muscle-actin (?SMA+) contribute to cancer progression, but their precise origin and role in tumorigenesis is not established. Using mouse models of inflammation-induced gastric cancer, we show that at least 20% of CAFs originate from bone...
