This is a rich source of various immature cells that are applied in basic and clinical experimental cardiac regeneration therapy, being hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) 38,48-50 ,

It seems unlikely that new cardiomyocyte formation 40 contributed to the increment in wall thickness in the hEPDC group, because the cardiomyocytes observed in the

Therefore, we investigated by lentiviral fluorescent (Katushka 27 ) labeling of the host epicardium whether new EPDCs were regenerated after MI. We first demonstrated by in

Trombospondin-1 (TSP-1) mRNA expression in the Mix-culture significantly increased after 7 days of hypoxia compared to the average of single CMPC and EPDC culture (Figure 4a;
