Abstract

Iyer et al. developed an efficient protocol for generating epicardial cells from human iPSCs through Wnt signaling reactivation at the cardiac mesoderm stage. These epicardial cells express WT1/TBX18, undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition to produce smooth muscle and fibroblasts, and provide paracrine support for cardiomyocyte maturation in co-culture systems.
