Abstract:
We overview the current knowledge about the use of skeletal myoblasts in regeneration of infarcted myocardium. Myoblasts are attractive candidates for cell source for cardiomyoplasty in chronic postmyocardial injury as indicated by experimental and initial clinical experience. We also review the recent developments in skeletal myoblasts transplantation techniques with special attention to percutaneous transvenous approach to deliver therapeutic agents into myocardium from the lumen of coronary veins under intravascular guidance.

Formation of Muscle Fibers from Myoblasts
Muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) are formed from the myotomes. MPCs express genes that encode the transcription factors Pax3 and Pax7. Along with Pax 3/7, other transcription factors...
