Myocardial wall stiffening in a mouse model of persistent truncus arteriosus.
Genetic and epigenetic programs regulate dramatic structural changes during cardiac morphogenesis. Concurrent biomechanical forces within the heart created by blood flow and pressure in turn drive downstream cellular, molecular and genetic responses. Thus, a genetic-morphogenetic-biomechanical feedb...
