Successful autologous skeletal myoblast transplantation into infarcted myocardium in a
variety of animal models has demonstrated improvement in cardiac function. We evaluated …

Background—Phase I clinical studies have demonstrated the feasibility of implanting
autologous skeletal myoblasts in postinfarction scars. However, they have failed to …

Cell transplantation is emerging as a new treatment designed to improve the poor outcome
of patients with cardiac failure. Its rationale is that implantation of contractile cells into …
