  4. 12. Developmental dynamics of cardiac progenitors and their role in congenital heart defects

    Author : Mimmi Mononen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiac progenitors are the fundamental building blocks of the heart and play a central role in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing studies have revealed that the cell populations in both developing and mature heart are more diverse than previously recognized. READ MORE

  5. 13. Epidemiological studies of congenital heart defects in the Southeast region of Sweden

    Author : Marie Cedergren; Elisabeth Robert-Gnansia; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : In the most recent analysis of Swedish data on congenital malformations, it appeared that in the county of Östergötland, the prevalence of infants with a diagnosed congenital malformation was higher than in the rest of the country. This observation initiated an effort to make a more complete identification of all infants born with a congenital malformation in that county and to compare it with the other two counties in the Southeast region of Sweden (Jönköping and Kalmar), utilising all the relevant Swedish medical health registers available.
