Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are broadly distributed cells that retain postnatal capacity
for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. MSCs evade immune detection, secrete an …

Administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to diseased hearts improves cardiac
function and reduces scar. These effects occur via stimulation of endogenous repair …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for more deaths globally than any other single
