Three-dimensional computer modeling of birds proepicardium on different stages of embryogenesis
As the proepicardium is the source of many cell populations of the mature heart, including cell components of coronary vessels, its investigation became actual last time. It is known, that there are some differences between birds and mammalian proepicardium; one of them consists in the way, in which...
