Measurements of the diameters of the great arteries and semi-lunar valves of chick and mouse embryos.

29 Apr 2009 The great arteries of embryos are small channels of a complex three-dimensional arrangement. Measurements of their diameters, as required for understanding cardiovascular morphogenesis and the genesis of malformations, cannot be performed in ... Read more...

Molecular mechanisms underlying the onset of degenerative aortic valve disease.

Sep 2008 Morbidity from degenerative aortic valve disease is increasing worldwide, concomitant with the ageing of the general population and the habitual consumption of diets high in calories and cholesterol. Immunohistologic studies have suggested that the ... Read more...

Cardiac outflow tract: a review of some embryogenetic aspects of the conotruncal region of the heart.

30 Aug 2006 A review concerning some embryogenetic aspects of the cardiac outflow tract is presented. Two main topics are discussed: the truncal septation and the secondary heart field. In the context of the septation of the truncus arteriosus, the development ... Read more...
