Therapeutic Angiogenesis by Transplantation of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived CD133 <sup>+</sup> Endothelial Progenitor Cells for Cardiac Repair
1 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study aim to enhance endothelial differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) by transduction of an adenovirus (Ad) vector expressing hVEGF(165) gene (Ad-hVEGF(165) ). Purified hESC-derived CD133(+) endothelial progenitors were transplanted into a rat myocardial infarct model to assess their ability to contribute to heart regeneration. METHODS: Optimal transduction efficiency with high...
