Mesenchymal stem cells

Heart attacks and congestive heart failure remain the prominent health challenges despite many breakthroughs in cardiovascular medicine. In fact, despite successful approaches to prevent or limit cardiovascular disease, the restoration of function to the damaged heart remains a formidable challenge. Recent research is providing early evidence that adult and embryonic stem cells may be able to replace damaged heart muscle cells and establish new blood vessels to supply them.
Bone marrow have two types of cells Heamatopoietic and adult stem cells.Adult stem cells also known as Mesenchymal stem cells.They have ability to repair damage myocardium.They can differentiated into different types of cells like adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteocytes, cradiomyocytes etc.
