From the beginning of cardiac myofibrillogenesis in the chick embryo, developing myofibrils at the bottom of the inner myocardial cell layer facing the cardiac jelly are already aligned circumferentially in the direction of the heart tube. To elucidate the mechanism of this alignment, we investigate
