Stem Cell Factor Gene Transfer Improves Cardiac Function After Myocardial Infarction in Swine [Original Articles]
Conclusions—
Local overexpression of SCF post-MI induces the recruitment of c-kit+ cells at the infarct border area acutely. In the chronic stages, SCF gene transfer was associated with improved cardiac function in a preclinical model of ischemic cardiomyopathy.
