  • Roles of homeodomain transcription factors during organogenesis

    Creator:
    Xu, Jun
    Abstract:
    The spatial and temporal patterning of sequence specific transcription factors (SSTFs) contributes to cell type specification and organ formation during embryogenesis. Homeodomain transcription factors are evolutionally conserved among invertebrate and vertebrate animals. They are responsible for body segmentation and organogenesis. Lbx1 and Pitx2 both are homeodomain transcription factors contributing to...

  • Gene networks during cardiogenesis and skeletal myogenesis

    Creator:
    Ma, Hsiao-Yen
    Abstract:
    Organismal development requires a precisely orchestrated transcriptional program to correctly deploy genetic information into the genome. This process requires sophisticated gene regulatory networks at multiple spatial and temporal levels from early embryonic development to adult physiological conditions. Molecular differences that define cell types are set up during the pattern formation...

  • The function of the homeobox transcription factor Pitx2 during mammalian skeletal muscle development

    Creator:
    Shih, Hung Ping
    Abstract:
    Homeodomain transcription factors control developmental processes. They pattern body formation, specify cell lineages and switch the onset of gene regulatory cascades. Pitx2, a bicoid-related homeodomain transcription factor, is asymmetrically expressed in the left lateral plate mesoderm and mesoderm-derived tissues. Pitx2 null mice are characterized by failure of body wall closure,...

  • Gene regulatory networks during muscle development

    Creator:
    Eng, Diana G.
    Abstract:
    Congenital myopathies are caused by heritable mutations in particular genes. Genes mutated in congenital muscular dystrophies often encode cytoskeletal proteins, which contribute to the shape and movement of cells. We would like to know how such molecular defects lead to the muscle weakness in patients. It is therefore important to...

  • Modulation of metabolic syndrome by soy isoflavones : in-vitro and in-vivo models

    Creator:
    Luo, Ting
    Abstract:
    Metabolic syndrome is a problem affecting people around the world. In a number of studies, soy intake has been documented to possess antidiabetic and anticardiovascular effect. My project is focused on the impact of the intake of compounds found within soy, the isoflavones, their impact on metabolic syndrome symptoms, and...
