Molecular strategy to reduce in vivo collagen barrier promotes entry of NCX1 positive inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSC(NCX¹⁺)) into ischemic (or injured) myocardium.

Molecular strategy to reduce in vivo collagen barrier promotes entry of NCX1 positive inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSC(NCX¹⁺)) into ischemic (or injured) myocardium.

OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of collagen composition on engraftment of progenitor cells within infarcted myocardium. BACKGROUND:We previously reported that intramyocardial penetration of stem/progenitor cells in epicardial patches was enhanced when collagen was reduce...
