What Are the Histological Features of Cardiac Mesoderm?
Histologically, the cardiac mesoderm can be identified by the presence of densely packed cells that are actively proliferating and differentiating. In early stages, these cells are less organized, but as development progresses, they start forming the characteristic structures of the heart, such as the primitive heart tube. Staining techniques like immunohistochemistry can be used to visualize specific markers that are indicative of cardiac mesoderm cells.
