Characterization of Rat Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells and Cardiac Repair After Cell Transplantation for Myocardial Infarction
27 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Stem cell therapy is a promising therapeutic strategy for treating myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is necessary to identify ideal adult stem cells for transplantation and explore mechanisms of the transplanted cells in improving cardiac functions after MI. In this study, a population of embryonic-like stem cells (ELSCs) was isolated from rat bone marrow. The cells express pluripotent stem cell...
