Abstract excerpt
During the early stages of embryogenesis, the mesoderm gives rise to cells of the cardiovascular system which include cardiac myocytes and vascular endothelial and red blood cells. We have investigated the development of these cell phenotypes using aggregate cultures of avian blastoderm cells, wh...
