tcf21+ epicardial cells adopt non-myocardial fates during zebrafish heart development and regeneration
8 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Recent lineage-tracing studies have produced conflicting results about whether the epicardium is a source of cardiac muscle cells during heart development. Here, we examined the developmental potential of epicardial tissue in zebrafish during both embryonic development and injury-induced heart regeneration. We found that upstream sequences of the transcription factor gene tcf21 activated robust,...
