Epicardium cells of the heart were successfully grown for over 50 days using stem cells, providing heart attack patients with better treatment option. Scientists devise a method for growing stem cells ...

A process using human stem cells can generate the cells that cover the external surface of a human heart — epicardium cells — according to a multidisciplinary team of researchers. "In 2012, we ...

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 ...

Medical researchers have found that a key to the zebrafish's ability to regenerate cardiac tissue lies in the outer layer of the heart known as the epicardium. When this critical layer is damaged, the ...

Researchers have created a heart organoid containing both cardiomyocytes and epicardium for the first time. The human heart starts forming in the first 3 weeks of conception. As women are often not ...

Franklin H. Epstein, M.D., served the New England Journal of Medicine for more than 20 years. A keen clinician, accomplished researcher, and outstanding teacher, Dr. Epstein was Chair and Professor of ...

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – After a heart attack, the portions of the heart damaged by a lack of oxygen become scar tissue. Researchers have long sought ways to avoid this scarring, which can harden the walls ...

This is a comparison of uninjured and injured tissue in the outer layer of the heart showing the expansion and generation of cells that form scarring. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...
