Cardiac Nestin+ Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Enhance Healing of Ischemic Heart through Periostin-Mediated M2 Macrophage Polarization.
Model: Acute myocardial infarction produced by coronary ligation
Intramyocardial injection of cardiac Nestin-positive mesenchymal stromal cells significantly improved cardiac function and reduced infarct size after acute myocardial infarction compared with bone marrow-derived cells or saline. Treatment reduced pan-macrophage infiltration while inducing an M2 phe…
