## Abstract Congenital heart defects affect nearly 1% of all newborns and are a significant cause of infant death. Clinical studies have identified a number of congenital heart syndromes associated with mutations in genes that are involved in the complex process of cardiogenesis. The African clawed
Yeast has great utility as a surrogate system to study aspects of mammalian biology. This utility extends to the drug discovery process, where yeast has been used to reveal the mechanism of action of compounds, to discover and characterize components of signaling pathways and to dissect protein func
## Abstract Considerable hope surrounds the use of diseaseβspecific pluripotent stem cells to generate models of human disease allowing exploration of pathological mechanisms and search for new treatments. Diseaseβspecific human embryonic stem cells were the first to provide a useful source for stu
Genetic and genomic research in model organisms has tremendously accelerated our understanding of the basic biological processes that lie at the heart of human disease. The genetic dissection of disease-relevant signaling pathways in Drosophila offers an ideal tool to identify novel drug targets for
