Reversal of ischemic cardiomyopathy with Sca-1+ stem cells modified with multiple growth factors.

<h4>Background</h4>We hypothesized that bone marrow derived Sca-1+ stem cells (BM Sca-1+) transduced with multiple therapeutic cytokines with diverse effects will induce faster angiomyogenic differentiation in the infarcted myocardium.<h4>Methods and results</h4>BM Sca-1+ wer...
