Can stem cells improve cardiac tissue regeneration?
Investigating the potential of stem cells in cardiac repair, researchers injected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into infarcted cardiac tissue. Using Masson's trichrome staining, they observed a reduction in fibrotic scar tissue and an increase in viable cardiac myocytes. The presence of MSCs also promoted angiogenesis, suggesting that stem cell therapy could significantly enhance cardiac tissue regeneration and function.
