Model for the role of Tcf21 in proepicardial cell specification and maturation. In control embryos, PE cells migrate onto the heart surface and mature into the epithelial-like epicardium (top panel). In the absence of Tcf21, PE cell numbers are increased and these cells retain their precursor cell characteristics upon migration onto the heart (bottom panel). Image published in: Tandon P et al.
