Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have revealed the existence of multipotent nestin-immunoreactive cells in the adult mammalian heart. These cells were recruited to infarct site following ischemic injury and differentiated to a vascular lineage leading to de novo blood vessel formation. Here, we show that a sub-population of cardiac resident nestin((+)) cells can further differentiate to a neuronal-like fate in vivo following...
