Impact of cardiac stem cell sheet transplantation on myocardial infarction
2013
Purpose
Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a major cause of mortality because of the limited regenerative capacity of the myocardium. Transplantation of somatic tissue-derived cells into the heart has been shown to enhance the endogenous healing process, but the magnitude of its therapeutic effects is dependent upon the cell-source or cell-delivery method. We investigated the therapeutic effects of C-Kit positive cardiac cell (CSC) cell-sheet transplantation therapy in a rat model of MI.
