Reduced regenerative capacity of aged stem cells hampers the benefits of autologous cell therapy for cardiac regeneration. This study investigated whether neuron-derived neurotrophic factor (NDNF) could rejuvenate aged human bone marrow (hBM)- multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and whether the rejuvenated hBM-MSCs could improve cardiac repair after ischemic injury. Over-expression of NDNF in old hBM-MSCs decreased cell senescence and apoptosis. Engraftment of NDNF over-expressing old h ...[more]
