Restricted differentiative capacity of Wt1-expressing peritoneal mesothelium in postnatal and adult mice

Abstract Previously, genetic lineage tracing based on the mesothelial marker Wt1, appeared to show that peritoneal mesothelial cells have a range of differentiative capacities and are the direct progenitors of vascular smooth muscle in the intestine. However, it was not clear whether this was a temp...
