In the developing chicken embryo yolk sac vasculature, the expression of arterial identity genes requires arterial hemodynamic conditions. We hypothesize that arterial flow must provide a unique signal that is relevant for supporting arterial identity gene expression and is absent in veins. We analyzed factors related to flow, pressure and oxygenation in the chicken embryo vitelline...
