TGF‐β3‐Mediated tissue interaction during embryonic heart development
1 Jun 1992
Abstract excerpt
A critical process during early heart development is the formation of mesenchymal cells which will contribute to valves and septa of the mature heart. These cells arise by an epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of endothelial cells in the atrioventricular (AV) canal and outflow tract areas of the heart. Adjacent endothelial cells in the atrium and ventricle remain epithelial. A three-dimensional collagen gel...
