Genetic and cellular analyses of zebrafish atrioventricular cushion and valve development
18 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Defects in cardiac valve morphogenesis and septation of the heart chambers constitute some of the most common human congenital abnormalities. Some of these defects originate from errors in atrioventricular (AV) endocardial cushion development. Although this process is being extensively studied in mouse and chick, the zebrafish system presents several advantages over these models, including the ability to carry...
