Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transfected by integrin-linked kinase (ILK) transplantation may improve the function and compliance of the post-infarct cardiac ventricle. We investigated the effect of ILK-modified MSC contiditioned medium (ILK-MSC-CM) on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFBs) and collagen synthesis in vitro and in vivo. Myocardial infarction (MI)-induced animals received mesenchymal stem...
