Revealing New Mouse Epicardial Cell Markers through Transcriptomics
28 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The epicardium has key functions during myocardial development, by contributing to the formation of coronary endothelial and smooth muscle cells, cardiac fibroblasts, and potentially cardiomyocytes. The epicardium plays a morphogenetic role by emitting signals to promote and maintain cardiomyocyte proliferation. In a regenerative context, the adult epicardium might comprise a progenitor cell...
