Abstract:Background:
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common genetic birth defect and has considerable morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is essential to define the mechanisms governing the specification and differentiation of mesodermal and cardiac progenitors to develop targeted therapies for CHD. FOXK1 is a forkhead/winged helix transcription factor known to regulate cell cycle kinetics, myogenic stem cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. During development, FOXK1 expression is restricted t… Show more
