Deskripsi

In the developing heart, blood flow transmits mechanical signals to progenitor cells that ultimately leads to valve formation. Here, the authors identify the origin of the valve progenitor cells and fibronectin1bas a transcriptional target of the mechanotransduced signals responsible for valve formation.
