The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Organotypic vasculature: From descriptive heterogeneity to functional pathophysiology (2017, background): “Unlike cardiac capillary ECs, the majority of cardiac mural cells are derived from epicardial cells (82, 83).”
Pericytes: developmental, physiological, and pathological perspectives, problems, and promises. (2011, background): “Here, the epicardial mesothelium is thought to give rise to cardiac mesenchymal cells, including coronary vSMCs and pericytes (Cai et al., 2008a; Dettman et al., 1998; Mikawa and Gourdie, 1996; Wessels and Pérez-Pomares, 2004; Zhou et al., 2008) (Figure 3).”
Redefining the in vivo origin of metanephric nephron progenitors enables generation of complex kidney structures from pluripotent stem cells. (2014, background): “Because Osr1-GFP is expressed by a rather broad population, including the lateral plate mesoderm, we examined the efficacy of these factors using Wt1-GFP knockin mice (Zhou et al., 2008), which show more restricted expression in a region of the intermediate mesoderm (Figures 2A, 2C, and 2I).”
