A self-regulatory system of interlinked signaling feedback loops controls mouse limb patterning

Felix Naef, Mirko Bischofberger

Embryogenesis depends on self-regulatory interactions between spatially separated signaling centers, but few of these are well understood. Limb development is regulated by epithelial-mesenchymal (e-m) feedback loops between sonic hedgehog (SHH) and fibrobl ...

The Ret receptor tyrosine kinase pathway functionally interacts with the ERalpha pathway in breast cancer

Cathrin Brisken

A limited number of receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., ErbB and fibroblast growth factor receptor families) have been genetically linked to breast cancer development. Here, we investigated the contribution of the Ret receptor tyrosine kinase to breast tumor ...
