Loss of embryonic neural crest derived cardiomyocytes causes adult onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in zebrafish

A small percentage of cardiomyocytes (CM) are of neural crest origin but the function of such cells in the adult zebrafish is unclear. Here, the authors identify this CM subpopulation as expressing the Notch ligand jag2b and if deleted in the embryo, cause severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in adult...
