Does epicardial adipose stem cell sheets result in greater post-infarction survival than intramyocardial injections?
The better preservation of LV geometry afforded by ADSC sheets is associated with increased survival and engraftment, which supports the concept of an epicardial delivery of cell-seeded biomaterials.
Our findings suggest a potential role of CNG protein for Ca++ entry in vascular endothelium and vascular smooth muscles. The high expression of CNG1 mRNA in the endothelium of medium-sized arteries and small-sized arteries implicates a possible involvement of CNG1 protein in the regulation of blood supply to different regions and in the regulation of arterial blood pressure.
