Embryonic Tbx3+ cardiomyocytes form the mature cardiac conduction system by progressive fate restriction
24 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT A small network of spontaneously active Tbx3+ cardiomyocytes forms the cardiac conduction system (CCS) in adults. Understanding the origin and mechanism of development of the CCS network are important steps towards disease modeling and the development of biological pacemakers to treat arrhythmias. We found that Tbx3 expression in the embryonic mouse heart is associated with automaticity. Genetic...
