Cardiac Progenitor Cells and the Interplay with Their Microenvironment
The microenvironment plays a crucial role in the behavior of stem and progenitor cells. In the heart, cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) reside in specific niches, characterized by key components that are altered in response to a myocardial infarction. To date, there is a lack of knowledge on these niches and on the CPC interplay with the niche components. Insight into these complex interactions a...

متن کاملc-kit cardiac progenitor cells: what is their potential?
The very interesting paper by Tallini et al. (1) confirms our suggestion [derived from the study (2) of cardiospheres’ formation by cardiovascular precursors (CPs) isolated from the heart of embryonic, fetal, neonatal, and adult transgenic mice expressing GFP under the control of the c-kit promoter] that c-kit expression identifies in the heart CPs, differentiating into endothelial, cardiac, an...
متن کاملCardiac Progenitor Cells
In the last few years we have witnessed one of most extraordinary revolutions in cardiovascular medicine, namely, an explosion of basic and clinical studies that support the notion that the diseased heart can be repaired by administration of stem cells, resulting in formation of functional new myocytes and vessels. Although the mechanism by which cell therapy improves cardiac function and anato...
متن کاملResident Cardiac Progenitor Cells
Neufeld Cardiac Research Institute, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel Abstract Resident cardiac stem/progenitor cells are implicated in cell replacement, repair and maintenance of the myocardium. These cells are already committed to a specific cardiomyogenic pathway. Stimulation of these cells in injured hearts can open new options in cardiovascular regenerative...
