Characterizing the role of atrial natriuretic peptide signaling in the development of embryonic ventricular conduction system
Abstract Patients born with congenital heart defects frequently encounter arrhythmias due to defects in the ventricular conduction system (VCS) development. Although recent studies identified transcriptional networks essential for the heart development, there is scant information on the mechanisms r...
