Identification of Myocardial and Vascular Precursor Cells in Human and Mouse Epicardium
19 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
During cardiac development, the epicardium is the source of multipotent mesenchymal cells, which give rise to endothelial and smooth muscle cells in coronary vessels and also, possibly, to cardiomyocytes. The aim of the present study was to determine whether stem cells are retained in the adult human and murine epicardium and to investigate the regenerative potential of these cells following acute myocardial...
