Multipotent Flk-1+ Cardiovascular Progenitor Cells Give Rise to the Cardiomyocyte, Endothelial, and Vascular Smooth Muscle Lineages

Cell-tracing studies in the mouse indicate that the cardiaclineage arises from a population that expressesthe vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2, Flk-1), suggesting that it may develop froma progenitor with va..
