Using Gjd3-CreEGFP mice to examine atrioventricular node morphology and composition

Gjd3-CreEGFP mice is a novel genetic tool to study the structural and molecular signatures of Atrioventricular Node (AVN) at a high resolution. Overall design: Focusing on the cardiac conduction system, we developed and rigorously characterized a geentic tool Gjd3-CreEGFP to perform in-depth analysis of AVN structure and composition. Utilizing this AVN-specific mouse model, we performed scRNA-Seq on neonatal Gjd3-CreEGFP mice to guide our single-cell atlas of the Atrio-ventricular conduction system (AVCS).
