Myocardial Repair Achieved by the Intramyocardial Implantation of Adult Cardiomyocytes in Combination with Bone Marrow Cells

Various cytokines produced by bone marrow cells can protect adult cardiomyocytes against apoptosis. Thus, we investigated the feasibility of implanting adult cardiomyocytes in combination with bone marrow cells for myocardial repair. Ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated from adult rats and cocul...
