A major goal in cardiovascular biology is to repair diseased or damaged hearts with newly generated myocardial tissue. Stem cells offer a potential source of replacement myocytes for restoring cardiac function. Yet little is known about the nature of the cells that are able to generate myocardium and the conditions they require to form heart tissue. A source of information that may be pertinent to addressing these issues is the study of how the myocardium arises from progenitor cells in the early vertebrate embryo. Accordingly, this review will examine the initial events of cardiac developmental biology for insights into the identity and characteristics of the stem cells that can be used to generate myocardial tissue for therapeutic purposes.
