POPULATION OF ADULT STEM CELLS DERIVED FROM CARDIAC ADIPOSE TISSUE AND USE THEREOF IN CARDIAC REGENERATION.

摘要

The invention relates to the isolation and characterisation of a novel population of adult stem cells derived from fatty heart tissue, which express GATA-4 and/or Cx43 in a constitutive manner. Said cell population can be used in cell therapy protocols in order to regenerate damaged myocardial tissue.
