In-vivo comparison of the acute retention of stem cell derivatives and fibroblasts after intramyocardial transplantation in the mouse model
Various strategies have been applied to increase the engraftment of an intramyocardial cell transplant (Tx) to treat ischemic myocardium. Thereby, co-transplanted fibroblasts (FB) improve the long-term surviva...
