Stromal cell-derived factor-1 mediates stem cell homing and tissue regeneration in ischemic cardiomyopathy

摘要

A method of treating infarcted myocardial tissue includes, the concentration of SDF-1 protein in the infarcted tissue. The concentration of stem cells in the peripheral blood of the infarcted tissue is also increased. The number of stem cells in the peripheral blood is increased while the concentration of SDF-1 in the infarcted tissue is increased.
