Thesis
Cardiac stem cell therapy for infarcted rat hearts
- Abstract:
-
Infarction irreversibly damages the heart, with formation of an akinetic scar that may lead to heart failure. Endogenous cardiac stem cells (CSCs) are a promising candidate cell source for restoring lost tissue and thereby preventing heart failure. CSCs would be most beneficial if administered soon after infarction, thus the aim of this project was to optimize CSC culture conditions to enhance their therapeutic potential for myocardial infarction. CSCs were isolated and expanded in vitro via ...
