Abstract 140: Effect of Transendocardial Autologous Cardiac Stem Cells and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Reduce Infarct Size and Restore Cardiac Function in a Heart Failure Swine Model

Background: A cell combination of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and c-kit+ cardiac stem cells (CSCs) improves left ventricular (LV) performance to a greater degree than MSCs alone in post…

Generation of high-yield insulin producing cells from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Allogenic islet transplantation is a most efficient approach for treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, the scarcity of islets and long term need for an immunosuppressant limits its application. Recently, cell…
