Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of immature cardiomyocytes differentiated from c-kit(+) bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) against acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS: Miniswine passage 8 BMSCs were enriched for c-kit and induced by 5 μM 5-azacytidine (AZA) for 14 days, and a second enrichment for the dihydropyridine receptor subunit α2δ1 was performed (enriched BMSCs). Thereafter, enriched...
