Abstract 13832: Cardiac Mesenchymal Cells (CMCs) Cultured at Physiologic Oxygen Tension Have Superior Therapeutic Efficacy in Mice With Heart Failure Caused by Myocardial Infarction

Stem/progenitor cells are usually cultured at atmospheric O2 tension (21%); however, since physiologic O2 tension in the heart is ~5%, using 21% O2 may cause oxidative stress and toxicity. CMCs, a ...
