Necroptosis Induced by Ad-HGF Activates Endogenous C-Kit+ Cardiac Stem Cells and Promotes Cardiomyocyte Proliferation and Angiogenesis in the Infarcted Aged Heart

Background/Aims: The discovery of c-kit+ cardiac stem cells (CSCs) provided us with new therapeutic targets to repair the damaged heart. However, the precise mechanisms regulating CSC proliferation and differentiation in the aged heart remained elusive. Necroptosis, a type of regulated cell death, h...
