Cardiac fibroblasts are emerging as key components of normal cardiac function, as well as
the response to stressors and injury. These most numerous cells of the heart interact with …

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are easily obtained and expanded, and have emerged
as a novel source of adult stem cells for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. These …

Human adipose‐derived stem cells (ASCs) may differentiate into cardiomyocytes and this
provides a source of donor cells for tissue engineering. In this study, we evaluated …

In the past years, cardiac mortality has decreased, but cardiac diseases are still responsible
