Cardiac resident nestin<sup>+</sup> cells participate in reparative vascularisation
4 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
The rodent heart contains a population of nestin((+)) cells derived from the embryonic neural crest and migrate to the scar after myocardial infarction (MI). The present study tested the hypothesis that intron 2 of the nestin gene drives expression and a subpopulation of nestin((+)) cells participate in reparative vascularisation. The directed expression of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) by the second intron...
