A fate map of Tbx1 expressing cells reveals heterogeneity in the second cardiac field
1 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Tbx1 is required for the expansion of second heart field (SHF) cardiac progenitors destined to the outflow tract of the heart. Loss of Tbx1 causes heart defects in humans and mice. We report a novel Tbx1(Cre) knock-in allele that we use to fate map Tbx1-expressing cells during development in conjunction with a reporter and 3D image reconstruction. Tbx1 descendants constitute a mesodermal cell population that...
