Abstract excerpt
Abnormal patterning of coronary arteries (CAs) is a clinically significant problem, and as yet, few animal models have been systematically investigated for coronary patterning defects. Here we characterized coronary artery (CA) insertion and branching patterns of the proximal coronary stems in the hearts of wildtype and heterozygous connexin43 knockout (Cx43alpha1 KO) mice. This study entailed the use of...
