    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...

    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...
