Epac ‐Rap1 Activated Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Cardiac Function in Rat Model of Myocardial Infarction

ConclusionOur findings showed that pharmacological activation of EPAC‐Rap1 improves cardiac function through better survival, adhesion, and differentiation of transplanted cells. Transplantation of these MSCs in the infarct area restored functional myocardium.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
