| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I aimed to understand cellular dynamics of anterior second heart field (aSHF) cells which contribute to the outflow tract and right ventricle of the heart.
I observed mouse embryos which expresses fluorescent proteins in cardiac mesoderm. As a result, aSHF region seemed to contribute to the outflow tract with dynamic remodeling of tissues. This suggests that the outflow tract is formed by incorporation of aSHF region to the heart with tissue remodeling of embryo.
