Intramyocardial Injections of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells following Acute Myocardial Infarction Modulate Scar Formation and Improve Left Ventricular Function

Cell therapy is a promising treatment modality to improve heart function in acute myocardial infarction. However, the mechanisms of action and the most suitable cell type have not been finally determined. We performed a study to compare the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) harvested from dif...
