Electrically Induced Calcium Handling in Cardiac Progenitor Cells
For nearly a century, the heart was viewed as a terminally differentiated organ until the discovery of a resident population of cardiac stem cells known as cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). It has been shown that the regenerative capacity of CPCs can be enhanced by ex vivo modification. Preconditioning CPCs could provide drastic improvements in cardiac structure and function; however, a systemat...
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...
متن کاملGeneration of induced cardiac progenitor cells via somatic reprogramming
It has been demonstrated that cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) represent a more effective cell-based therapy for treatment of myocardial infarction. Unfortunately, their therapeutic application is limited by low yield of cell harvesting, declining quality and quantity during the ageing process, and the need for highly invasive heart biopsy. Therefore, there is an emerging interest in generating ...
متن کاملParvalbumin: Targeting calcium handling in cardiac diastolic dysfunction.
Diastolic heart failure (DHF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by depressed myocardial relaxation performance and poor ventricular refilling. Defective intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) handling underlies one of the fundamental mechanisms of DHF. Manipulating the content and function of Ca(2+) handling proteins in the heart has been the focus of intense study to develop effective therapies for...
