What is this page?
This page lists the scientific contributions of an author, who either does not have a ResearchGate profile, or has not yet added these contributions to their profile.
It was automatically created by ResearchGate to create a record of this author's body of work. We create such pages to advance our goal of creating and maintaining the most comprehensive scientific repository possible. In doing so, we process publicly available (personal) data relating to the author as a member of the scientific community.
If you're a ResearchGate member, you can follow this page to keep up with this author's work.
If you are this author, and you don't want us to display this page anymore, please let us know.

The canonical Wnt signaling pathway, mediated by the transcription factor β-catenin, plays critical roles in embryonic development and represents an important therapeutic target. In a zebrafish-based in vivo screen for small molecules that specifically perturb embryonic dorsoventral patterning, we discovered a compound named windorphen that selecti...
Angiogenesis, a physiological process of forming new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, plays a vital role in organogenesis, tissue response to ischemia, and malignant tumor growth. Angiogenesis is a complex process, requiring a finely tuned balance between various stimulatory and inhibitory signals. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) a...
Spontaneously contracting focus of cardiomyocytes expressing DsRed-Nuc protein under the α-MHC promoter formed from dorsomorphin-treated ES cells at day 12 of differentiation.

Dorsomorphin treatment from day −3 to 2 promotes cardiomyogenesis at the expense of other mesodermal lineages. (A) Dorsomorphin treatment (from day −3 to 2) blunted the induction of BryT expression at day 3 of differentiation (*p = 0.01), but resulted in higher BryT expression at day 4, in comparison to controls (**p = 0.0424). Dorsomorphin treatme...
Phase contrast movie of spontaneously contracting foci of cardiomyocytes formed from dorsomorphin-treated ES cells on a gelatin-coated plate.

Spontaneously contracting EB formed from dorsomorphin-treated ES cells on a 96-well microtiter plate.

Dorsomorphin (DM) treatment of ES cells efficiently blocks activation of the BMP-target gene Id1. Treatment of mouse ES cells with 2 µM DM from day 0 to 1 of differentiation resulted in a 96.1% reduction in the expression levels of the BMP-target gene Id1 at day 1 (*p<0.0001). All results are compared to DMSO-vehicle treatment as negative control....
Background
Pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells, which have the capacity to give rise to all tissue types in the body, show great promise as a versatile source of cells for regenerative therapy. However, the basic mechanisms of lineage specification of pluripotent stem cells are largely unknown, and generating sufficient quantities of desired cell...

... To discover new potential regulators of cancer, we turned to developmental processes, as key regulators of embryonic development are known to play critical roles in cancer [27][28][29][30]. We conducted an unbiased chemical genetic screen of ~ 30,000 compounds to identify novel small molecules that selectively perturb zebrafish development [25,26,31,32]. This screening effort led to the identification of 5-ethyl-5'-(1-naphthyl)-3'H-spiro [indole-3,2'-[1, 3, 4]thiadiazole]-2-one, herein named ogremorphin-1 (OGM1) (Fig. 1A). ...
... [33]. Dorsomorphin, as an inhibitor of BMP signaling pathway, can induce Smad activation and promote the generation of cardiomyocytes [34]. The inhibition of HDAC by VPA enables the regulation of cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation [35]. ...
