Human pluripotent stem cell‐derived epicardial progenitors can differentiate to endocardial‐like endothelial cells

Abstract excerpt

Abstract During heart development, epicardial progenitors contribute various cardiac lineages including smooth muscle cells, cardiac fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. However, their specific contribution to the human endothelium has not yet been resolved, at least in part due to the inability to expand and maintain human primary or pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)‐derived epicardial cells. Here we first generated...
