One approach being developed as a way to improve heart function following heart attack is the injection of heart stem/progenitor cells directly into the heart. New research now indicates that transplanting sheets of clonally expanded heart cells expressing the protein Sca-1 (cells that are stem/progenitor cells) improves heart function after a heart attack in mice.
