Does anyone know of germ layer specific cardiac fibroblast lines?

24 March 2022 0 7K Report

I am planning experiments where I want to compare function of cardiac fibroblasts of different germ layers. Does anyone know of commercially available fibroblasts from human donors of specific germ layers? Specifically, endo and epicardial lineages.

Thanks
