Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34)-CD45-negative nonhematopoietic progenitors derived typically from the stromal fraction of the bone marrow. These stem cells display multipotent properties with a demonstrable differentiation capacity along multiple mesodermal lineages. In the setting of myocardial injury, preclinical studies indicate benefit of both autologous and allogeneic...
