  "term": "Cardiogenesis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The complex biological process of heart formation and development, beginning from the initial specification of cardiac progenitor cells and culminating in the formation of a fully functional, four-chambered heart. This process involves intricate cellular differentiation, migration, and morphological changes. In humans, cardiogenesis starts around the third week of gestation.",
