C-kit+ resident cardiac stem cells improve left ventricular fibrosis in pressure overload

To investigate the effect of resident cardiac stem cells (RCSC) on myocardial remodeling, c-kit+ RCSC were isolated from hearts of C57Bl/6-Tg (ACTb-EGFP)1Osb/J mice expressing green fluorescent protein and expanded in vitro. C57/Bl6N wildtype mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TA...
