Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: C-kit is a receptor tyrosine kinase family member expressed in hematopoietic stem cells. C-kit is also transiently expressed in cardiomyocyte precursors during development and in a rare cell population in the normal adult heart. In the present study, the cardiomyogenic potential of c-kit(+) cells isolated from normal neonatal, normal adult, and infarcted adult mouse hearts was evaluated. METHODS AND...
