Epicardial slices: an innovative 3D organotypic model to study epicardial cell physiology and activation
Abstract The epicardium constitutes an untapped reservoir for cardiac regeneration. Upon heart injury, the adult epicardium re-activates, leading to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and differentiation. While interesting mechanistic and therapeutic findings arose from lower ver...
