Epicardial Origin of Resident Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Adult Mammalian Heart
The discovery of stem and progenitor cells in the adult mammalian heart has added a vital dimension to the field of cardiac regeneration. Cardiac-resident stem cells are likely sequestered as reserve cells within myocardial niches during the course of embryonic cardiogenesis, although they may also be recruited from external sources, such as bone marrow. As we begin to understand the nature of ...
متن کاملEpicardium-derived cells (EPDCs) in development, cardiac disease and repair of ischemia
Reactivation of endogenous epicardium after ischemia The proepicardial-derived epicardium covers the myocardium and after a process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) forms epicardium-derived cells (EPDCs). These cells migrate into the myocardium and show an essential role in the induction of the ventricular compact myocardium and the differentiation of the Purkinje fibres. EPDCs are fu...
متن کاملEpicardium-Derived Heart Repair
In the last decade, cell replacement therapy has emerged as a potential approach to treat patients suffering from myocardial infarction (MI). The transplantation or local stimulation of progenitor cells with the ability to form new cardiac tissue provides a novel strategy to overcome the massive loss of myocardium after MI. In this regard the epicardium, the outer layer of the heart, is a tract...
متن کاملComparison of Colony-forming Efficiency between Breast Milk Stem/progenitor Cells of Mothers with Preterm and Full-term Delivery
Background: The beneficial effect of breastfeeding for the health of mothers and infants are well recognized. Breast milk is a novel source of the stem cells forming during pregnancy and lactation. In the present study, the colony forming efficiency (CFE) of breast milk-derived stem/progenitor cells in the breast milk of mothers with preterm delivery (gestational age o...
متن کاملO-3: Drug Repositioning by Merging Gene Expression Data Analysis and Cheminformatics Target Prediction Approaches
The transcriptional responses of drug treatments combined with a protein target prediction algorithm was utilised to associate compounds to biological genomic space. This enabled us to predict efficacy of compounds in cMap and LINCS against 181 databases of diseases extracted from GEO. 18/30 of top drugs predicted for leukemia (e.g. Leflunomide and Etoposide) and breast cancer (e.g. Tamoxifen a...
