Tagging a New Source of Heart Stem Cells

Caption: Pu and Zhou tagged the Wt-1 expressing epicardial cells with a fluorescent red protein, then allowed the cells to differentiate. The image shows a descendent cardiomyocyte (green) that carries the same red marker, and another cell that arose from different origins. (The blue stain indicates cell nuclei).
