Synergistic and independent roles for Nodal and FGF in zebrafish CPC migration and asymmetric heart morphogenesis
This study by Gonzalez and team has now been published in Development. When comparing the preprint uploaded to BioRxiv on May 18, 2025 with the peer-reviewed paper, one main difference in content can be observed. This revolves around the relationship between FGF, F-actin and the resulting migration of cardiac progenitors during cardiac jogging. Cardiac jogging…
