Regionalized Sequence of Myocardial Cell Growth and Proliferation Characterizes Early Chamber Formation
3 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Increase in cell size and proliferation of myocytes are key processes in cardiac morphogenesis, yet their regionalization during development of the heart has been described only anecdotally. We have made quantitative reconstructions of embryonic chicken hearts ranging in stage from the fusion of the heart-forming fields to early formation of the chambers. These reconstructions reveal that the early heart tube is...
