Abstract:Background: The possibility of culturing heart cells in order to regenerate damaged tissue is a challenging problem. Recent observations have demonstrated the possibility of isolating and expanding resident cardiac stem cells, which could favor regeneration and functional improvement of the myocardial tissue.
Aims:To investigate two different culturing media: one promoting c-kit cells' growth and the other promoting differentiation in cardiac muscle cells.
Methods:We obtained primary cultures from left ventric… Show more
