Abstract
⺠Hysterectomy decreases cardiac recovery in female rats after MI. ⺠The uterus contains regenerative cells that home to the infarcted myocardium. ⺠These mobilized uterine cells persisted in the injured myocardial tissue. ⺠Transplanted uterine cells stimulated angiogenesis and prevented infarct scar thinning. ⺠Transplanted uterine cells prevented cardiac dysfunction after MI.
