Abstract
These results suggest that BMCs recruited to the heart underwent phenotypic modulation to a fibroblastic cell type and turnover within 2 weeks after MI without differentiating into cardiomyocytes or endothelial cells, and that although the number of BMCs in the infarcted myocardium decreased over time, the rate of turnover remained relatively constant during the chronic phase of MI.
