Stem cell and repair of traumatic myocardium / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Recent work has revealed that large numbers of mitotic figures are present in adult hearts,which has implied that there should be some mechanism about nature repair of the adult heart.But the levels of natural repair are not high enough to retrieval the traumatic myocardium.As a new approach to improving the cardiac repair,stem-cell therapy provides an exciting and powerful treatment.We describe the background of natural repair,and summarize the current strategies in the application of stem-cell therapy to repair the traumatic myocardium.
