Bradykinin preconditioning improves therapeutic potential of human endothelial progenitor cells in infarcted myocardium.
OBJECTIVES: Stem cell preconditioning (PC) is a powerful approach in reducing cell death after transplantation. We hypothesized that PC human endothelial progenitor cells (hEPCs) with bradykinin (BK) enhance cell survival, inhibit apoptosis and repair the infarcted myocardium. METHODS: The hEPCs wer...
