AbstractThe heart is the first functional organ to develop in the vertebrate embryos. In mice, the primitive tubular heart begins beating at embryonic day (E) 8.0-E.8.5 and undergoes rightward looping to form the atrial and ventricular chambers. The proepicardium, a transient cell cluster at the sinus venous-lateral plate mesenchyme junction migrates onto the heart and gives rise to the embryonic epicardium, a squamous epithelium that plays a key role in cardiac development.

1 IntroductionRegional and global economic models, combined with spatially distributed crop growth simulation models and hydrology models that simulate water supply and demand across sectors (among others), represent the most widely used quantitative approach for addressing questions related to food security under alternative future scenarios (e.g., for a recent reference, van Dijk et al., 2021).
