Abstract

The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily are of structurally related proteins that mediate developmental processes including cell growth, apoptosis, cellular homeostasis, tissue differentiation, morphogenesis, proliferation, and migration. Smads are intracellular signaling effectors that mediate intracellular signaling of the TGF-β superfamily. They have been implicated in a wide range of cardiac disorders, including cardiac failure, cardiac fibrosis, myocardial infarction, injury induced by angioplasty, and pulmonary artery hypertension. They also have a function to regulate cardiac structural development in embryos. By binding to types I and II of serine-threonine kinase receptors, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) enables phosphorylation of Smad1 to form hetero-oligomeric complexes with Smad4, and modulate the transcription of the target genes after they are translocated into the nucleus. Appropriate interventions, such as Smad-responsive transcriptional promoter and antifibrotic angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, can be helpful in reversing cardiac abnormalities. The aim of this article is to describe the current research results of Smad proteins in terms of cardiac disorders and development through tra...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
