Effect of iron deficiency on c-kit⁺ cardiac stem cells in vitro.

<h4>Aim</h4>Iron deficiency is a common comorbidity in chronic heart failure (CHF) which may exacerbate CHF. The c-kit⁺ cardiac stem cells (CSCs) play a vital role in cardiac function repair. However, much is unknown regarding the role of iron deficiency in regulating c-kit⁺ CSCs functio...
