Cardiac telocytes as principal interstitial cells for myocardial reparation and regeneration after infarction - our hope

Bratisl Lek Listy. 2017;118(12):721-723. doi: 10.4149/BLL_2017_136.

Abstract

According to our knowledge, this is the first research experiment that focuses on the study of the distribution of c-kit positive cells at the sites of myocardial infarction in human hearts (Fig. 3, Ref. 16).

Keywords: cardiac telocytes..
