Discoidin Domain Receptors in Cardiac Development
Heart development is a complex process, involving temporally and spatially restricted morphogenic events that ultimately give rise to a multichambered heart. Discoidin domain receptors (DDRs) 1 and 2 are recep...

Chapter
The Role of the Extracellular Matrix and Its Receptors in Modulating Cardiac Development
Fundamental to the differentiation and morphogenesis of any organ is the interaction between its component cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). In the early 1980s, the concept of dynamic reciprocity was i...
