    Control of cardiac jelly dynamics by NOTCH1 and NRG1 defines the building plan for trabeculation

    In vertebrate hearts, the ventricular trabecular myocardium develops as a sponge-like network of cardiomyocytes that is critical for contraction and conduction, ventricular septation, papillary muscle formatio...

    Uncontrolled angiogenic precursor expansion causes coronary artery anomalies in mice lacking Pofut1

    Coronary artery anomalies may cause life-threatening cardiac complications; however, developmental mechanisms underpinning coronary artery formation remain ill-defined. Here we identify an angiogenic cell popu...
