Article Synopsis
- This study explores the effectiveness of transplanting multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs) derived from human bone marrow into heart tissue after a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
- The results showed improved heart function in mice post-transplant, with promising signs of integration into the heart tissue and no evidence of tumor formation, indicating MAPCs could be a safe treatment option.
- Overall, this research suggests that focusing on specific stem cell types like MAPCs may enhance regenerative therapy for heart injuries compared to using total bone marrow.
Cardiomyocytes in pulmonary veins (PVs) have been reported in rodents and humans. In humans they were related to atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF). To investigate histological similarities and differences in PV cardiomyocyte localization and distribution, we performed comparative light and electron microscopic studies on humans, rats and mice, and generated a transgenic mouse strain.
