Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to explore the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)- paracrine factors implicated in both cardiac embryogenesis and cardiac repair following myocardial infarction (MI)-on murine bone marrow stem cell (mBMSC) differentiation in an ex vivo cardiac microenvironment. For this purpose, green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressing hematopoietic...
