Heart assembly requires input from two populations of progenitor cells, the first and second heart fields (FHF and SHF), that differentiate at distinct times and create different cardiac components. The cardiac outflow tract (OFT) is built through recruitment of late-differentiating, SHF-derived cardiomyocytes to the arterial pole of the heart. The mechanisms responsible for selection of an appropriate number of OFT cells from the SHF remain unclear. Here, we find that cell adhesion molecule 4 ( ...[more]
