<h4>Aims</h4>The ventricular wall of the heart is composed of trabeculated and compact layers, which are separated by yet unknown processes during embryonic development. Here, we wanted to explore the role of Notch2 and Numb/Numblike for myocardial trabeculation and compaction.<h4>Methods and results</h4>We found that Notch2 activity is specifically down-regulated in the compact layer during cardiac development in the mouse. The biological role of Notch2 down-regulation was investigated by the e ...[more]
