Heart failure is a major cause of premature death and disability in the United States. Stem cell therapy has attracted great interest for the treatment of myocardial infarction and heart failure. Some tissue-specific adult-derived stem cells demonstrate plasticity in that they are multipotent, react to inductive signals provided by a new micro-environment, and acquire the phenotype of cells endogenous to the new...
