Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Cardiac Precursor‐Like Cells from Human Menstrual Blood‐Derived Mesenchymal Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that menstrual blood‐derived mesenchymal cells (MMCs) began beating spontaneously after induction, exhibiting cardiomyocyte‐specific action potentials, and appear to be a potential novel, easily accessible source of material for cardiac stem cell‐based therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xenografted Human Amniotic Membrane–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Immunologically Tolerated and Transdifferentiated Into Cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: Because hAMCs have a high ability to transdifferentiate into cardiomyocytes and to acquire immunologic tolerance in vivo, they can be a promising cellular source for allograftable stem cells for cardiac regenerative medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Significant Cardiomyogenic Potential of Human Umbilical Cord Blood‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells In Vitro

TL;DR: UCBMSCs can be a promising cellular source for cardiac stem cell‐based therapy, since such cells can be obtained from younger populations and are being routinely utilized for clinical patients.
