Creating an asymmetric heart: @tbonnely.bsky.social @audreydsg.bsky.social @meilhacsigolene.bsky.social &co identify Notch3 as a novel asymmetric factor in lateral plate mesoderm that acts as a genetic modifier of NODAL to regulate #heart #morphogenesis @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/42q6H4L

Left: Expression of Notch3 (white) detected by whole mount RNAscope ISH in an E8.5d wild-type embryo, shown in frontal views (top, cranial part of the embryo) and transverse section (bottom). Filled and empty arrowheads point to high and low expression, respectively. Right: Segmentation of the cardiac region in 3D images, to quantify gene expression in the left (white) or right (yellow) heart field. The heart tube is colored in red. Somites are outlined by white dotted lines. Expression of Notch3 within the segmented second heart field is extracted in the right panel.
