Avian MHC patterns should not inform human care; extends developmental biology but leaves open mammalian translation.
Evans et al. (1988) studied Avian heart development. Developmental stage (embryonic to adult) was evaluated on Expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms. In the developing avian heart, at least three MHC isoforms are expressed in both atria and ventricles embryonically, but in adults, expression becomes restricted to specific regions.
