Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that Foxc1 and Foxc2, closely related Fox transcription factors, have interactive roles in cardiovascular development. However, little is known about their functional overlap during early heart morphogenesis. Here, we show that Foxc genes are coexpressed in a novel heart field, the second heart field, as well as the cardiac neural crest cells (NCCs), endocardium, and proepicardium....
