Miogenic cells transplantation
Regenerative medicine in pathologies of the skeletal and cardiac muscle
Abstract
Miogenic cells transplantions is an experimental technique in regenerative medicine. Intitially explored as a therapeutic tool in the treatment of myopathies, its extrapolation for the potential treatment of myocardial infarction currently spreads its scope of application. This study, based on bibliography and the author’s experience during over a decade of clinical and preclinical research in the field, attempts to provide an update in a highly important topic for this century’s medicine.
