Bone marrow cell transplants to benefit those with heart disease
Published in Medical Devices and Surgical Technology Week, March 14th, 2010
Two studies published in the latest issue of Cell Transplantation (18:12) may lead to new treatments for the treatment of heart diseases. The first study, carried out by a team of Brazilian researchers, found that cell transplantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) directly into the heart benefited patients suffering from refractory angina. A separate study carried out by researchers in the Peoples' Republic of China found that apelin, a newly described inotropic peptide, improves heart function following transplantation of BMMCs.
The results of these studies and others are available on-line free of charge at http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/cog/ct/...
