Angiogenesis, cardiomyocyte proliferation and anti-fibrotic effects underlie structural preservation post-infarction by intramyocardially-injected cardiospheres.

OBJECTIVE: We sought to understand the cellular and tissue-level changes underlying the attenuation of adverse remodeling by cardiosphere transplantation in acute myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND: Cardiospheres (CSps) are heart-derived multicellular clusters rich in stemness and capable of mul...
