Abstract excerpt
One of the first morphological manifestations of left/right (L/R) asymmetry in mammalian embryos is a pronounced rightward looping of the linear heart tube. The direction of looping is thought to be controlled by signals from an embryonic L/R axial system. We report here that morphological L/R asymmetry in the murine heart first became apparent at the linear tube stage as a leftward displacement of its caudal...
