Myocardial Infarction
Infarcted rat hearts grow new vessels and tissue after stem cell transplantation
Published in Cardiovascular Week, May 29th, 2006
"Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent cells that can differentiate into cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelial cells. Here we show, using cell sheet technology, that monolayered mesenchymal stem cells have multipotent and self-propagating properties after transplantation into infarcted rat hearts," scientists in Japan report.
Y. Miyahara and colleagues of the National Cardiovascular Center said, "We cultured adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells characterized by flow cytometry using temperature-responsive culture dishes. Four weeks after coronary ligation, we...
