Funded Activity Summary
Sprouting Angiogenesis and its Role in Development of Chamber Myocardium. The project aims to investigate how heart chambers form by testing the hypothesis that morphogenesis of the muscular walls of the heart is regulated during development by a Notch signalling-dependent process akin to angiogenic sprouting in other vascular beds. The project outcomes may have implications for diagnosis of congenital heart disease and for the fields of cardiac tissue engineering and regeneration. The project plans to elucidate cellular and molecular pathways underlying heart chamber development in mice using contemporary genetic methods, molecular embryology and imaging. Benefits may include a new framework for understanding heart development and disease, and the future application of this knowledge to translational cardiology.Funded Activity Details
