The exact role of a tissue in an organism depends on what types of cells it contains. For example, the endothelial tissue that lines the human gastrointestinal tract consists of several cell types.

The importance of TGF-β family proteins in muscle cell differentiation is well illustrated by the effects of myostatin/growth development factor (GDF)-8, a TGF-β family member that is first ...

about 20% of stem cells would become endothelial cells," Lian said "After, differentiation dropped to about 5% at best. We found that SOX17 is required for this process. It was a lucky and ...

To elucidate which cells produce such signals and how these signals are sensed to promote pioneer cell differentiation ...
