Abstract

Clueless with fewer cues from endothelin. Commentary: Venous endothelin guides sympathetic innervation of the developing mouse heart.

Highlights

  • Specialty section: This article was submitted to Cellular Endocrinology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental

  • Likewise sympathetic innervation of the heart takes place during embryogenesis, with axons from the stellate ganglia, principally, following blood vessels to reach their target and make synapses; a phenomenon relying on the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF; Ieda et al, 2004)

  • The work by Manousiouthakis and collaborators exposes the clear coordination orchestrated by endothelin between the projections of the cardiac sympathetic innervation and cardiogenesis
