Abstract
Background— Cellular cardiomyoplasty is a promising approach to improve postinfarcted cardiac function. The differentiation pathways of engrafted mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) and their effects on the left ventricular function in a rat myocardial infarct heart model were analyzed.Keywords
