Hepatic cell mobilization for protection against ischemic myocardial injury

Abstract The heart is capable of activating protective mechanisms in response to ischemic injury to support myocardial survival and performance. These mechanisms have been recognized primarily in the ischemic heart, involving paracrine signaling processes. Here, we report a distant cardioprotective...

Hepatic cell mobilization for protection against ischemic myocardial injury
