Mesenchymal stem cells and cardiac repair
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accumulating clinical and experimental evidence indicates that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising cell types in the treatment of cardiac dysfunction. They may trigger production of reparative growth factors, replace damaged cells and create an environment that favours endogenous cardiac repair. However, identifying mechanisms which regulate the role of MSCs in cardiac repair is still at work. To achieve the maximal clinical benefits, ex vivo manipulation can further enhance MSC therapeutic potential. This review focuses on the mechanism of MSCs in cardiac repair, with emphasis on ex vivo manipulation.

Background and Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells are promising sources of stem cells for tissue repair because of their ability to differentiate into different cells, easy proliferation and culture, and immunomodulatory properties. Despite extensive research on the immunophenotype of mesenchymal stem cells, a lack of specific markers comprises challenges for researchers. The aim of this researc...
