... cardiometabolic risk in the offspring throughout life, implying intergenerational transmission. However, little is known about the early-life cardiac cell modifications that imply the onset of heart diseases later in life. This study analyzed cardiac progenitor cells and cardiomyocyte differentiation on day...

...)-positive cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) to generate cardiac cellularized silk fibroin scaffolds, multipotent cells isolated from the adult heart to date that can show some degree of differentiation toward the cardiac phenotype. To test their ability to differentiate into the cardiac phenotype in vivo...

.... Cardiac pacemaking cells Cardiac progenitor cells Cardiomyocytes Smooth muscle cells In the past few years, it has been discovered that adult hearts contain a pool of cardiac stem/progenitor cells that can regenerate cardiomyocytes and vascular structures [Beltrami et al., 2003, Oh et al...
