Modifications of chromatin dynamics control Smad2 pathway activation in aneurysmal smooth muscle cells.

abstract：:Congenital heart defects affect almost 1% of human newborns. Recently, mutations in Notch ligands and receptors have been found to cause a variety of heart defects in rodents and humans. However, the molecular effects downstream of Notch are still poorly understood. Here we report that combined inactivation of Hey1 an...
