    ..Our findings indicate that epicardium modulates the cardiac injury response by conditioning the subepicardial environment, potentially offering a new therapeutic strategy for cardiac protection. ..
  9. He L, Zhou B. The Development and Regeneration of Coronary Arteries. Curr Cardiol Rep. 2018;20:54 pubmed publisher
    ..In the adult stage, neovascularization is mainly mediated by the pre-existing endothelial cells, with negligible contribution from other sources. ..
