Article Synopsis
- Treatment with bone marrow cells (BMCs) improves heart function after myocardial infarction (MI) in rodents, but this success isn't seen in clinical trials with older patients.
- Reduced levels of B lymphocytes in BMCs from aged and post-MI donors contribute to their diminished therapeutic effect.
- Introducing B cells into the treatment improved cardiac outcomes, indicating their crucial role in enhancing BMC therapy for MI.
