Myocardial Infarction
Heart attack-related injuries are treated by bone marrow cell cytokines in animal models
Published in Blood Weekly, September 14th, 2006
"It is well known that the implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) into ischemic hearts can induce angiogenesis and improve cardiac function after myocardial infarction, but the precise mechanisms of these actions are unclear. We hypothesize that the cytokines produced by BM-MNCs play a key role in this cell-based therapy," investigators in Japan report.
"BM-MNCs from rats were cultured under normoxic or hypoxic (1% O2 ) conditions for 24 h, and then supernatants were collected for study. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western...
