Abstract:
The effects of embryonic heart RNA extracted from 18-day chick embryos were studied both on the isolated parts of the chick blastoderm and on the isolated primitive tubular heart of the early chick embryo. The embryonic heart RNA accelerated in vitro the beating of the heart-forming area and the pulsing of the primordial heart organ. In addition, a phenomenon of cardiac transformation was observed.
