Epicardial Contribution to the Developing and Injured Heart: Exploring the Cellular Composition of the Epicardium

The epicardium is an essential cell population during cardiac development. It contributes different cell types to the developing heart through epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and it secretes paracrine factors that support cardiac tissue formation. In the adult heart the epicardium is a qu...
