Myocyte and myogenic stem cell transplantation in the heart

Abstract excerpt

Cellular transplantation is emerging as a potential mechanism with which to augment myocyte number in diseased hearts. To date a number of cell types have been shown to successfully engraft into the myocardium, including fetal, neonatal, and embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, skeletal myoblasts, and stem cells with apparent cardiomyogenic potential. Here we provide a review of studies wherein myocytes or...
