Objective: Fetal cardiomyocyte transplantation improved heart function after cardiac injury.
However, cellular allografts were rejected despite cyclosporine (INN: ciclosporin) therapy …

Background—The long-term effects of cardiac cell transplantation on cardiac function are
unknown. Therefore, we tested the survival and functional impact of rat neonatal cardiac …

Transplantation of cardiomyocytes into the heart is a potential treatment for replacing
damaged cardiac muscle. To investigate the feasibility and efficiency of this technique, either …

Background The feasibility of successfully grafting fetal cardiomyocytes into infarcted
myocardium is now established, but the functional effects of such a procedure still remain …

Objective: The study evaluated the utility of transplanting bone marrow stromal cells in a
porcine myocardial infarction model. Methods: A myocardial infarction was created by …

Background. Several reports have documented the potential benefits of cell transplantation
as an alternative to cardiac transplantation. This study was designed to investigate whether …

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the feasibility of and potential functional
improvement with embryonic stem cell transplantation in rats 32 weeks after myocardial …

Objective: We have previously reported that fetal cardiomyocyte transplantation into
myocardial scar improves heart function. The mechanism by which this occurs, however, has …

Objectives: Transplantation of fetal cardiomyocytes improves function of infarcted
myocardium but raises availability, immunologic, and ethical issues that justify the …

Background. Fetal ventricular cardiomyocyte transplantation into a cardiac scar improved
ventricular function, but these cells were eventually eliminated by rejection. We therefore …
