Abstract:
Because cardiomyocytes have extremely low capacity to cell proliferation, cell transplantation has recently attracted muchattention as a new method to improve the damaged heart function and structure. Cellular cardiomyoplasty refers to the implantation ofdifferent kinds of cells besides autologous cardiomyocytes into the myocardium to reinforce its structure and function. Presently, fetaland neonatal cardiomyocytes, hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, skeletal myoblasts, endothelial stem cells, hepatic stem cells and neural stem cells have been used to repair the damaged heart in animal experiment. This article overviewstype, outcome, advantage, disadvantage, and problems of seed cells used for cellular cardiomyoplasty.
