Loss of cardiomyocytes during myocardial infarction or hereditary cardiomyopathies may represent a major determinant in the progression toward heart failure. The reported ability of haematopoietic bone marrow cells to afford myocardial regeneration after direct injection in experimental animals [1] has triggered a number of clinical trials in humans. Nevertheless, the initial observations and the scientific underpinning of the human trials have been challenged by a number of studies using a foreign gene, LacZ or GFP, to . . .
