FGF-2 controls the differentiation of resident cardiac precursors into functional cardiomyocytes
9 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence suggests that the heart possesses a greater regeneration capacity than previously thought. In the present study, we isolated undifferentiated precursors from the cardiac nonmyocyte cell population of neonatal hearts, expanded them in culture, and induced them to differentiate into functional cardiomyocytes.
