TL;DR

This study provides a detailed spatiotemporal map of gene expression and cellular dynamics during early human heart development, analyzing over 69,000 tissue spots and nearly 77,000 cells across 36 hearts, revealing diverse cell types, specialized conduction system components, and the formation of cardiac innervation and valves, thereby advancing understanding of human cardiogenesis.
