OPLA scaffold, collagen I, and horse serum induce an higher degree of myogenic differentiation of adult rat cardiac stem cells.

29 Nov 2009 In the last few years, a major goal of cardiac research has been to drive stem cell differentiation to replace damaged myocardium. Several research groups have attempted to differentiate potential cardiac stem cells (CSCs) using bi- or ... Read more...

Micro-positron emission tomography in the evaluation of Trypanosoma cruzi-induced heart disease: Comparison with other modalities.

30 Oct 2009 Noninvasive assessment of cardiac structure and function is essential to understand the natural course of murine infection with Trypanosoma cruzi. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and echocardiography have been used to monitor anatomy and function; ... Read more...

Improved myocardial perfusion and thickening after off-pump revascularization: 5-year follow-up.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Late improvements in myocardial perfusion and thickening after off-pump revascularization were evaluated during a 5-year follow-up by myocardial single photon emission computed tomography. METHODS: Between 2001 and 2003, 68 patients who ... Read more...
