The paper by Kelly et?al., from Margaret Buckingham's group at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, changed the way we think about the developing mammalian heart, as well as the origins of congenital heart disease. Prior to this work, classical studies showing that the heart tube grows in part by the transformation of a noncardiac epithelium into cardiomyocytes had lapsed into obscurity. Kelly et?al. and other papers have reinstated the notion that heart growth and morphogenesis are highly dynamic and driven by the recruitment of multipotent heart progenitor cells to a primitive scaffold. It was as if a light went on in the heart development field. This and subsequent work, much of it from Buckingham and colleagues, allows us to understand the cellular and molecular nature of heart growth and to see the origins of congenital heart disease in the aberrant behavior of progenitor cell populations.
