25 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Many forms of heart disease are associated with the loss of cardiomyocytes both via apoptosis or necrosis, and despite the recent identification of resident cardiac stem cells, the native capacity for renewal and repair is inadequate. Cell transplantation strategies have emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for repairing injured myocardium. Many different cell types including embryonic stem cells have been...
