Deskripsi

Organizers are regions in the embryo that induce cell fate and impart pattern on neighbouring regions. Here, the authors search for new organizers based on a common gene signature, and show that the Anterior Intestinal Portal endoderm induces cardiac identity, specifies ventricle and inhibits atrial character.
