How a valveless embryonic heart tube pumps blood is a long-standing scientific mystery. Thanks to innovations in light-based technology, fresh insights are now available into the biomechanics of mammalian cardiogenesis-;and in particular, the pumping dynamics of the mammalian tubular embryonic heart.
4D OCT (3D + time)
Shang Wang of the Stevens Institute of Technology and Irina Larina of the Baylor College of Medicine used cutting-edge 4D optical coherence tomography (OCT) to study the pumping…
