Figure 1From: Manganese-enhanced MRI detects live human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells in vivo after transplantation and restoration of myocardial function in a pig ischemia-reperfusion injury modelA) Effect of hAMSC delivery on EF. hAMSC-treated hearts exhibit increased EF versus NS control hearts (p>0.05), indicating a functional restoration post-IR injury; B) DEMRI and MEMRI infarct volumes reduce over time from d7 to d28 post-IR. Although DEMRI volume reductions are similar between hAMSC and NS hearts, MEMRI defect reduction tends to be greater in hAMSC hearts.Back to article page
