Signals from the epicardium are essential for fetal coronary lymphangiogenesis. VEGFC and VEGFD produced by the epicardium target the subepicardial space, where they are essential for the formation of ...

The epicardium, the tissue layer covering the cardiac muscle (myocardium), develops from the proepicardium, a mass of coelomic progenitors located at the venous pole of the embryonic heart.

Embryonic epicardium is crucial for normal heart morphogenesis. The tissue originates from the proepicardial organ, with cells migrating to form the outer mesothelial layer, giving rise to non-myocyte ...

Introduction The epicardium has an essential role in cardiac regeneration as seen in several animals and mammalian neonates. However, in adult mammals, including humans, the epicardium is reportedly ...

The epicardium is formed from these cells. "We assume that these cells also exist in the human body – if only for a few days," says Prof. Moretti.

The epicardium also plays a very important role in forming the heart chambers.” The team has appropriately named the new organoids “epicardioids”. New cell type discovered ...

The parietal layer lines the inner regions of the fibrous pericardium, while the visceral layer lines the outer layer of the heart and is therefore also known as the epicardium.

Oxytocin found to be responsible for stimulating the production of epicardium-derived progenitor cells in zebrafish and human cell cultures.

Researchers show for the first time that the neurohormone oxytocin has a previously unsuspected function in both zebrafish and human cell cultures: it stimulates mature cells in the epicardium of ...

Sometimes people feel the "call of the void" an unexpected urge to jump from a high place. Here's why.
