While the pericardium consists of two main layers: the fibrous pericardium and the serous pericardium (which further divides into the parietal and visceral layers, the latter also known as the epicardium), the epicardium itself is a thin layer of tissue that lies just beneath the visceral layer ...
The first known use of epicardium was circa 1860 epicardium医学词典英英释义 epicardiumnoun the visceral part of the pericardium that closely envelops the heart called alsovisceral pericardium compare parietal pericardium epicardium 例句 1.The pericardial cavity, filled with lubricating serous fluid, lie...
In other studies, Riley has since shown that other proteins besides thymosin β4 might also have a role in stimulating the epicardium to regenerate the heart7. From Scientific American The organoids are about 2 millimeters in diameter and include the main types of cells typically present in this...
As mentioned, all of the cell populations arising from the epicardium are collectively known as EPDCs.91As identified bylineage markers, EPDCs migrate into the AV sulcus matrix and from there into the AVendocardial cushions.47In addition to entering the AV cushions, EPDCs were also noted to...
and most recently in zebrafish embryos.3'4 The transcription factors Tbxl8 (T-box factor 18), Wt-1 (Wilms tumor 1), and Tcf21 (transcription factor 21) (also known as epicardin or capsulin) are highly expressed in the proepicardium and serve as molecular markers of this structure, alth...
When this layer comes into contact with the heart (not the great vessels), it is known as the epicardium.en.wikipedia.org On further investigation they discovered that a protein was driving stem cells in the epicardium to become fibroblasts.www.medicalnewstoday.com Hemorrhagic smallpox also produ...
injury has remained unresolved due to the paucity of tools for cell type-specific tracing, as current genetic markers also label epicardial derivatives and/or non-epicardial cell types23,24,25,26. Nevertheless, it has been reported that following stimulation with factors such as thymosin-ß4 ...
Common pericyte markers include PDGFRβ (platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta) and NG2 (also known as CSPG4) (Smyth et al., 2022). However, not all pericytes express both markers simultaneously (Yamazaki and Mukouyama, 2018). Our SMAD3-downregulating cells exhibited no protein expressio...

This is of particular relevance when working with AVC explants from E10.5 embryos as they are prone to epicardial cell contamination. Besides confounding interpretations on cell identity, the epicardium is also a source of factors that may on their turn interfere with the process of EndoMT (e.g...
