title: Previews. Unleashing cardiopoiesis: a novel role for G-CSF.
abstract: Identifying pathways for cardiac muscle creation is a paramount objective of cardiac stem cell biology. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Shimoji and colleagues (2010) report the unforeseen ability of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to drive cardiopoiesis in mouse, primate, and human pluripotent cells.
