Scheme of the architecture of the SHF at embryonic days 8.5 (a) and 9.5 (b) showing breakdown of the dorsal mesocardium (DM) between these timepoints. c Frontal view of E8.5 wild-type whole mount dorsal pericardial wall, main cell orientation map, stress map and cluster map. d Frontal view of E9.5 wild-type whole-mount dorsal pericardial wall, main cell orientation map, stress map and cluster map. Scale bars: 100 µm. NT neural tube, AP arterial pole, VP venous pole, r right, l left, d′ dorsal, v ventral, a anterior, p posterior. Wild-type E8.5: N = 6 embryos, n = 2994 cells; wild-type E9.5: N = 6 embryos, n = 8618 cells.
