摘要 |
The present invention concerns methods of improving cardiac function in cardiac tissues of a recipient host by delivery of peripheral blood derived stem cells. The present invention also describes methods of stimulating cardiac tissue regeneration in a recipient host. Methods of treating a diseased cardiac tissue in a recipient host, as well as methods of obtaining a differentiated cardiac cell. Cardiac tissues subjected to these methods may be diseased or damaged, for example, by infarction, ischemia, chemotherapy, or infection. Peripheral blood derived stem cells used in the invention form new cardiomyocytes and also may form smooth muscle and endothelial cells.
