The developmental transcriptome of the human heart

Abstract The human heart develops through complex mechanisms producing morphological and functional changes during gestation. We have recently demonstrated using diffusion tensor MRI that over the relatively short space of 40 days, between 100–140 days gestational age, the ventricular myocardium tra...
