NEW PUBLICATION OUT IN CELL! ✨ After much hard work, Michaela Asp’s and Stefania Giacomello’s article “A spatiotemporal organ-wide gene expression and cell atlas of the developing human heart” is now in print! Together with co-authors Ludvig Larsson and others, they have mapped the cellular organisation of the developing human heart. We hope this will be a great resource for many researchers who wish to explore the heart development. ❤️
