摘要: The Notch signaling pathway is an ancient and highly conserved that controls cell fate specification tissue patterning in the embryo adult. Region-specific endocardial activity regulates heart morphogenesis through interaction with multiple myocardial-, epicardial-, neural crest-derived signals. Mutations NOTCH elements cause congenital disease humans mice, demonstrating its essential role cardiac development. Studies model systems have provided mechanistic understanding of function development, disease, regeneration. patterns embryonic endocardium into prospective territories for valve chamber formation, later processes leading to outflow tract ventricular trabeculae compaction. Alterations result structural malformations can lead neonate adult heart.
