Wnt5a increases cardiac gene expressions of cultured human circulating progenitor cells via a PKC delta activation.

Wnt signaling controls the balance between stem cell proliferation and differentiation and body patterning throughout development. Previous data demonstrated that non-canonical Wnts (Wnt5a, Wnt11) increased cardiac gene expression of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and bone marrow-der...
