Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Bone marrow (BM)-derived progenitor cells are functionally impaired in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD), thereby hampering the outcome of autologous stem cell therapy. In search for underlying mechanisms for this BM dysfunction, accelerated cellular senescence was explored. METHODS: We analysed telomere length of BM-derived mononuclear cells (MNC) by MMqPCR in patients with coronary...
