Improvement of Heart Function After Transplantation of Encapsulated Stem Cells Induced with miR-1/Myocd in Myocardial Infarction Model of Rat

Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the most common sources in cell-based therapies in heart regeneration. There are several methods to differentiate MSCs into cardiac-like cells, such as gene induction. Moreover, using...
