(2004-03-29)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyI will introduce two novel genes isolated by my laboratory, hole and bves. This document will show that the benefits of gene discovery are invaluable. Bves, a novel family of cell adhesion molecules have been identified ...
-
(2005-11-01)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyThe work contained in this document provides the first description and characterization of Bves, a gene product identified by our laboratory, in epithelial cell types. Studies addressed a central hypothesis that Bves plays ...
