The hepatic vasculature is essential for liver development, homeostasis and regeneration, yet the developmental program of hepatic vessel formation and the embryonic origin of the liver vasculature ...

On March 29, Nature Genetics published a research article entitled "Genetic lineage tracing identifies endocardial origin of liver vasculature", from Prof. ZHOU Bin's lab at the Institute for ...

Taking advantage of genetic lineage tracing and tissue specific gene knockout technology, researchers found that part of liver vasculature is derived from endocardium in the developing heart. On March ...
