Chicken myocyte growth data inform avian cardiac maturation; extends comparative models but leaves open mammalian translation.
Li et al. (1997) studied Posthatching development of cardiac myocytes. Posthatching development vs. Day 1 baseline was evaluated on Myocyte number, volume, length, width, and nucleation. During posthatching development from day 1 to day 42, chicken ventricular myocyte number increased 156%, average cell volume increased >400%, and binucleated myocytes increased to 44%.
