  2. 1. Single-cell analysis of mammalian cardiogenesis elucidating an essential role of outflow tract progenitors

    Author : Chikai Zhou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The heart is the first organ to form and start to function during mammalian embryogenesis. This complex organ system is constructed by a diverse set of cell types, involving mesodermal precursors and heart progenitors, at the earliest embryonic stages. READ MORE
