Current Status of Stem Cell Therapy in Heart Failure
Current Cardiology Reports, 03/15/2010
Codina M et al. – This review highlights current evidence supporting endogenous cardiac repair mechanisms in human hearts, recent progress with clinical application of myocardial cell therapy, and complementary efforts to manipulate endogenous myocardial repair processes using a variety of tissue engineering strategies. The goal of this overview is to demonstrate that the insights and opportunities derived from each of these lines of inquiry are mutually complementary for ultimately achieving the goal of therapeutic cardiac regeneration.
