2. 1. Embryonic and adult cardiac stem cells : molecular, electrophysical and immunological characteristics for cardiac repair

   Author : Rami Genead; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : human resident cardiac progenitor;

   Abstract : Background: The concept of myocardial regeneration by means of stimulating the endogenous regenerative potential in situ is an attractive approach. This offers distinct advantages to stem cell implantation where the problems with engraftment and immune rejection are avoided. READ MORE
