A New Method to Stabilize c-kit Expression in Reparative Cardiac Mesenchymal Cells

Cell therapy improves cardiac function. Few cells have been investigated more extensively or consistently shown to be more effective than c-kit sorted cells; however, c-kit expression is easily lost during passage. Here, our primary goal was to develop an improved method to isolate c-kitpos cells an...
