miR-194-3p regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition in embryonic epicardial cells via p120/β-catenin signaling

The epicardium is integral to cardiac development and facilitates endogenous heart regeneration and repair. While miR-194-3p is associated with cellular migration and invasion, its impact on epicardial cells remains uncharted. In this work we use gain-of-function and loss-of-function methodologies to investigate the function of miR-194-3p in cardiac development. We culture embryonic epicardial cells
