Abstract:
:In this issue of Developmental Cell, Ren et al. (2019) identify the embryonic origin of cardiac pacemaker cells in zebrafish and implicate Wnt5b in promoting their differentiation. Furthermore, canonical Wnt activation in human stem cell-derived cardiac progenitors produces functional pacemaker cells in vitro, advancing the therapeutic potential of biological pacemakers.

However, because of widespread expression of MAP3K4, the cellular basis of this misregulation was unclear. Here, we show that mice lacking Gadd45γ also exhibit XY gonadal sex reversal ca...

Ect2 is ...
