Abstract
Stem cell transplantation provides a potential regenerative therapy for the heart damaged by myocardial infarction. Numerous scientific studies have been undertaken in animals and humans to analyze the safety and efficacy of this new approach. However, at the present time, the results have been mixed and inconclusive, and the mechanism of stem cell transplantation therapy remains unclear. This review discusses the controversies and problems that need to be addressed in future investigations.
