CRT-604 Mesenchymal Stem Cells Exposed to Chronic Hypoxia Preferentially Home to Regions of Myocardial Injury Following Intravenous Injection

Intravenous delivery of MSCs for MI could have major clinical implications. Also, MSCs grown under chronic hypoxic conditions have attributes suggesting more robust healing and homing functions. Therefore, we studied whether human and murine hypoxic MSCs traffic to the heart following myocardial
