This approach was based on the idea that transplanted donor cardiomyocytes would integrate with the host myocardium and thereby directly contribute to cardiac function. Surprisingly, the observation that non-cardiomyogenic cells could also impr...

Rupture or injury of an atherosclerotic coronary arterial plaque — as occurs spontaneously in patients with an acute coronary syndrome or as the result of a percutaneous coronary intervention — serves as a nidus for platelet aggregation and thrombus formation, which, in turn, may cause myocardial infarction or death. Activation of the platelet-surface glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor is the final...
