This study shows that actomyosin organization in zebrafish cardiomyocytes drives cell shape changes during heart chamber curvature formation, influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

The paper shows that cardiac function affects endocardial cell dynamics, which in turn shape the cardiac outflow tract in zebrafish.

The paper analyzes fibroblast growth factor receptor mutants in zebrafish, revealing functional redundancy that ensures robustness in developmental signaling.
