Neural crest-derived resident cardiac cells contribute to the restoration of adrenergic function of transplanted heart in rodent

Conclusion
Neural crest-derived adrenergic cells increased following heart transplantation. The restoration of cardiac sympathetic activities in transplanted heart is tightly coupled with an increase in the number of neural crest-derived adrenergic cells.
