Summary:
Data has suggested that injection or mobilization of bone marrow stem cells into injured heart muscle during or after myocardial infarction would be able to regenerate heart muscle lost due to injury. However, there is a growing consensus that the mechanism of any potential therapeutic benefit is unknown and evidence suggests that any potential improvement in cardiac function observed is largely independent of cardiac muscle regeneration.
Commentary: Hopefully this stem cell treatment will be able to regenerate heart muscle lost due to injury.
