An investigation into a role for follistatin in early cardiogenesis in Xenopus Laevis
… in regulating cardiomyocyte differentiation and heart tube formation, but excess RA inhibits cardiomyocyte differentiation. We have used microarray technology and whole mount in situ hybridization to investigate the mechanism by which RA might alter cardiogenesis. Our results showed that RA …

Zebrafish Cardiac Development Requires a Conserved Secondary Heart Field
… poles observed in mouse and chick. The secondary heart field (SHF) is a conserved developmental domain in avian and mammalian embryos that contributes myocardium and smooth muscle to the cardiac arterial pole. This field is part of the overall heart field, and its myocardial component has been …

Biophysical Mechanisms of Early Heart Morphogenesis
<p>The heart is the first functioning organ in the developing embryo. Initially, the heart is a relatively straight tube created by folding and fusion of the cardiogenic fields, which lie bilaterally within the blastoderm. Shortly after formation, the primitive heart tube (HT) undergoes the …

How the Heart Grows: From Multi-scale Data to a Multi-scale Model
The heart is the first organ to form and the first to function during early development. Embryological heart development consists of a series of events believed to be highly conserved in vertebrates. Cardiac precursor cells form a cardiac crescent at the embryonic midline. Fusion of the cardiac …
