The Role of Sonic Hedgehog in Outflow Tract Development
… major contributing populations to the outflow tract of the heart are the secondary heart field and the cardiac neural crest. These two populations are responsible for providing the myocardium that supports the outflow tract valves, the smooth muscle that surrounds these valves and the outflow …

RDH10 is Necessary for Initial Vagal Neural Crest Cell Contribution to Embryonic Gastrointestinal Tract Development
… from variable lengths of the gastrointestinal tract due to a failure of neural crest cell (NCC) colonization or development, leading to megacolon and/or the failure to pass meconium. Enteric neurons are derived from neural crest cells (NCC); hence HSCR is associated with incomplete NCC …

Characterisation of the role of VPS33B in Vesicular trafficking in polarised Epithelial cells.
… are essential for epithelial function and organ development but the molecular pathways determining the biogenesis of polarised membranes are not fully characterised. Mutations in VPS33B, a Sec1-Munc18 protein, account for 75% of ARC patients. Reduced expression of VPS33B at both the RNA and …

Alterations in the Brain Renin-Angiotensin System in a Model of Fetal Programming
… by accelerating lung and gastrointestinal tract development and activating the sympathetic nervous system. However, fetal steroid exposure may lead to elevated mean arterial pressure and decreased autonomic function in young adults. Baroreflex sensitivity for control of heart rate is an …

The Effects of Dietary Fructose and Fat on the Reproductive Parameters of Prepubertal and Pregnant Gilts
… data suggests that pre-pubertal reproductive tract development may be altered by dietary sugar consumption. Two experiments were conducted to delineate the direct effects of fructose on the maturation of the pre-pubertal reproductive tract and fertility. At three weeks of age, forty gilts were …

Beta-Catenin and Development of the Urogenital System
… of the kidneys, gonads, urinary and reproductive tracts. Components of the urogenital system play many important roles in the body; kidneys function by regulating the body's fluid volume, acidity and mineral composition, while the reproductive tract is necessary for propagation of our species. …

Roles in Retinoid Signaling in the Lower Urinary Tract
… on the role of RA-signaling in the urinary tract, where we find that it plays multiple roles. By inducing expression of a floxed dominant-negative mutant Rar receptor, termed RaraDN, in the bladder, we find that RA-receptor signaling from the bladder epithelium plays distinct roles during …

Serum Response Factor Regulates Multiple Aspects of Central Nervous System Development
… in earlier aspects of central nervous system development such as neuronal projection establishment, cell-fate specifications, and neural stem cell homeostasis and survival. We report that SRF is critical for development of major axonal tracts in the forebrain. Conditional mutant mice lacking …

Role of Sox9 In Uterine Gland Development and Disease Initiation
<p>The female reproductive tract (FRT) develops midway through embryogenesis, and consists of oviducts, uterine horns, cervix and upper part of the vagina. The uterine horns are composed of an epithelial layer, luminal (LE) and glandular epithelium (GE), surrounded by a mesenchymal layer, the …

Mid-Twentieth Century Residential Development in San Luis Obispo
… as key events in the City’s history. Residential development in the mid-century brought several new styles of architecture to the City including Mid-century Modern and Prairie homes among others. These architectural styles are detailed and presented in order to identify and guide the preservation …
