Human Myocardial Pericytes: Multipotent Mesodermal Precursors Exhibiting Cardiac Specificity
21 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
Perivascular mesenchymal precursor cells (i.e., pericytes) reside in skeletal muscle where they contribute to myofiber regeneration; however, the existence of similar microvessel-associated regenerative precursor cells in cardiac muscle has not yet been documented. We tested whether microvascular pericytes within human myocardium exhibit phenotypes and multipotency similar to their anatomically and...
