Stem cells have been used to correct the ravages of atherosclerotic heart disease and other diseases that involve acute deficit of myocardial muscle, such as myocarditis. Previous attempts at using bone marrow derived from stem cells have not been particularly successful. New technologies using cardiac stem cells seem to offer a better perspective of obtaining such regeneration.
干细胞已被用于纠正动脉粥样硬化性心脏病以及其他涉及心肌急性缺损的疾病(如心肌炎)所造成的破坏。以往尝试使用源自干细胞的骨髓,但效果并不特别理想。使用心脏干细胞的新技术似乎为实现这种再生提供了更好的前景。
