miRNA-processing enzyme Dicer is necessary for cardiac outflow tract alignment and chamber septation
14 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have previously been implicated in a number of developmental processes, including development of the ventricular myocardium of the heart. To determine what, if any, additional roles miRNAs play in cardiogenesis, we deleted the miRNA-processing enzyme Dicer specifically in the developing murine heart. Embryos lacking cardiac Dicer lived longer than reported in previous studies using different...
