mortality/aging
• no mice are observed after E9
|
cardiovascular system
• only large fused vessels with internally localized groups of endothelial cells are present in the head mesenchyme instead of the small vessels observed in wild-type mice
|
• contains endothelial cells within the lumen
|
• vascular structures are large and enclosed with endothelial cells compared to in wild-type mice
• however, endothelial cell formation is normal
|
• the endocardial lining of heart ventricles are thickened and disorganized compared to in wild-type mice
