Cardiosphere-derived stem cell culture, characterisation and labelling for in vivo testing in the infarcted heart

Cardiac stem cells (CSCs), isolated from heart tissue explants and expanded via the formation of cardiospheres (Csp), are a promising candidate for cell therapy to prevent heart failure following myocardial infarction. To allow early administration to patients, isolation and expansion of CSCs must b...
