Adult Bone Marrow Stem Cells Regenerate Myocardium in Ischemic Heart Disease
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of several populations of primitive cells in mouse and human bone marrow that have the capacity, both in vitro and in vivo, to give rise to cells of all three germ layers. Mesenchymal/stromal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells are the leading candidates for this activity that some believe may recapitulate the potential of embryonic stem cells. Very little is...
