Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Bone marrow-derived cells to treat myocardial injury improve cardiac function and support beneficial cardiac remodeling. However, survival of stem cells is limited due to low proliferation of transferred cells. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate long-term potential of c-kit(+) bone marrow stem cells (BMCs) enhanced with Pim-1 kinase to promote positive cardiac remodeling. METHODS AND RESULTS: Lentiviral...
