Cardiovascular Differentiation and Development Study Section [CDD]

[CDD Membership Roster] [CDD Meeting Rosters]

The Cardiovascular Differentiation and Development [CDD] study section reviews applications related to development and differentiation of heart, vascular and lymphatic system. A wide variety of technologies are encouraged including human genetics, as well as cellular, molecular, genetic, genomic/proteomic and transgenic approaches in different model organisms such as mouse, chick, zebrafish, xenopus and drosophila. Specific areas covered by CDD:

Cardiac development: commitment and differentiation of cardiac cell phenotypes; looping morphogenesis; cardiac chamber specification; valvulogenesis; epicardial and coronary vessel development; neural crest in developing heart and great vessels; cardiac conduction system; embryonic cell processes, cellular signaling and transcriptional regulation in heart development.
Vascular development: origin, commitment and differentiation of endothelial and smooth muscle cell populations; vasculogenesis and angiogenesis; patterning and organization of the vascular system; vascular remodeling in the postnatal organism; neovascularization in adults recapitulating embryonic and fetal processes.
Lymphatic development: differentiation, development and organization of the lymphatic vascular system; molecular and cellular mechanisms of lymphangiogenesis; lymphedema.
Stem cells: differentiation of embryonic and adult stem cells into cardiomyocytes, endothelium, smooth muscle and other components of the cardiovascular system; resident stem cells in regeneration and repair of myocardium and vasculature in vivo.
Human genetics of cardiac and vascular malformations; studies related to human congenital defects of cardiovascular system, modeling of human developmental cardiovascular diseases in different organisms.
