Myocardial infarction and its consequences such as congestive heart failure continue to be a major cause of death in Western societies despite therapeutic advances made in recent years. A growing body of evidence indicates that cell-based strategies might have promising therapeutic potentials for cardiac revascularization and the restoration of cardiac function. In that respect, several recent experimental studies have demonstrated varying degrees of cardiac regeneration using different stem cell populations such as embryonic stem cells, skeletal myoblasts, hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and mesenchymal stem cells [1,2]. Similarly, our group has detected cardiac regeneration by cells of non-cardiac origin in biopsies . . . [Full Text of this Article]
