Functional and histopathological improvement of the post-infarcted rat heart upon myoblast cell grafting and relaxin therapy

Although the myocardium contains progenitor cells potentially capable of regenerating tissue upon lethal ischaemic injury, their actual role in post-infarction heart healing is negligible. Therefore, transplantation of extra-cardiac stem cells is a promising therapeutic approach for post-infarction...
