Neuregulin-1 is essential for the birth, growth, and patterning of trabeculae. The panels show 3-dimensional reconstructions of ventricles from a normal mouse embryo (top) and an embryo lacking Nrg1 (bottom), revealing the complex trabecular network in the control heart and the primitive network in the Nrg1-deficient mutant.
