Mespaa is required early in gastrulation for pro-cardiac activity but over-expressing cells do not exhibit unique cellular behaviors until after its completion. (A) Schematic outlining the strategy for exploring the temporal requirement for mespaa in pro-cardiac activity. (B) Percent of host embryos with GFP+ cells at 48 hpf after animal cap transplantation of ecr-mespaa-Δnls over-expressing cells with tebufenozide addition at different time points. Data are represented as meansĀ±SEM. (C-F) Time-lapse images of animal cap transplants of mespaa and mespab over-expressing cells together at different stages in development.
