Mechanisms controlling the acquisition of a cardiac phenotype by liver stem cells
(East Carolina University, 2007-03-06)The mechanisms underlying stem cell acquisition of a cardiac phenotype are unresolved. We studied early events during the acquisition of a cardiac phenotype by a cloned adult liver stem cell line (WB F344) in a cardiac ... -
HuR binds to a single site on the C/EBP - beta mRNA of 3T3-L1 Adipocytes
(East Carolina University, 2007-03-30)HuR is a ligand for nuclear mRNAs containing adenylate-uridylate rich elements in the 3'- untranslated region. Once bound to the mRNA, HuR is recognized by adapter proteins which then facilitate nuclear export of the ... -
