Fusion of bone marrow-derived stem cells with cardiomyocytes in a heterologous in vitro model
28 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have demonstrated that transplanted bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMCs) possess a broad differentiation potential and are able to form new cardiomyocytes. However, the identity of BMCs as true cardiomyocytes is still ambiguous. Therefore, we investigated the fate of transplanted fluorescence labeled BMCs and cardiomyocytes in co-culture. METHODS: For cell tracking we used two different...
