Hypoxia-activated scleraxis a mediates epicardial progenitor differentiation into a unique cardiac perivascular cell type

Björn Perder, Yu Xia, Jun Yao…·Jingli Cao

This study identifies Scleraxis a as a key regulator of epicardial progenitor differentiation into a unique cardiac perivascular cell type in zebrafish, revealing a hypoxia-responsive pathway involved in coronary vessel development.
