Objectives: Marrow stromal cells are mesenchymal stem cells able to differentiate into
cardiomyocytes in vitro. We tested the hypothesis that marrow stromal cells, when implanted into …

BACKGROUND.: Damaged skeletal muscle is able to regenerate because of the presence
of satellite cells, which are undifferentiated myoblasts. In contrast, destruction of cardiac …

Background. Bone marrow stromal cells have been shown to engraft into xenogeneic fetal
recipients. In view of the potential clinical utility as an alternative source for cellular and gene …

Objectives: Bone marrow stromal cells contain “adult stem cells.” We tested the hypothesis
that coronary-infused bone marrow stromal cells may populate the infarcted heart and …

Myocardium lacks the ability to regenerate following injury. This is in contrast to skeletal
muscle (SKM), in which capacity for tissue repair is attributed to the presence of satellite cells. It …

… I want to congratulate the group of Dr Chiu for this continued work in cellular cardiomyoplasty.
The European Union selected our group at Broussais Hospital in Paris to develop a …

OBJECTIVES: Bone marrow stromal cells are capable of differentiating into cardiomyogenic
cells. We tested the hypothesis that transcoronary implantation of bone marrow stromal cells …

Background. We have previously reported that marrow stromal stem cells (MSCs), when
implanted into myocardium, can undergo milieu-dependent differentiation to express …

… This is an outstanding example of basic research at the resident level and is a real tribute
to a fine thoracic surgery research laboratory, which has been directed by Dr Ray Chiu for a …

… MacDonald D, Saito T, Shum-Tim D, Bernier PL, Chiu RCJ. Early bone marrow stromal cell
xenotransplantation following myocardial infarction is associated with better left ventricular …
