Telocytes as supporting cells for myocardial tissue organization in developing and adult heart
1 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence indicates that the adult heart contains sub-epicardial cardiogenic niches where cardiac stem cells and stromal supporting cells reside together. Such stromal cells include a special population, previously identified as interstitial Cajal-like cells and recently termed telocytes because of their long, slender processes (telopodes) embracing the myocardial precursors.
