Zoom"Coordination of endothelial cell maturation and patterning by the epicardium" The coronary plexus arises from the integration of endothelial cells (ECs) with supportive mural cells and signals stemming from the epicardium. Synchronized with coronary remodeling, the epicardium undergoes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation (EMT); a process that regulates cell differentiation and growth factor secretion. Genetic mouse models with...
