The mesodermal source of fibronectin is required for heart morphogenesis and cardiac outflow tract elongation by regulating cell shape, polarity, and mechanotransduction in the second heart field
2022-10-31
Abstract excerpt
Failure in the elongation of the cardiac outflow tract results in congenital heart disease due to ventricular septum defects and misalignment of the great vessels. The cardiac outflow tract lengthens via accretion of progenitors derived from the second heart field (SHF). SHF cells in the splanchnic mesoderm are exquisitely regionalized and organized into an epithelial-like layer forming the dorsal pericardial wall...
