Can erythropoietin improve skeletal myoblast engraftment in infarcted myocardium?
eComment: Cell transplantation therapy is a novel modality for endstage ischemic heart. In preclinical experiments and clinical practices, it has been proved to be an effective therapy. However, the key point for its use depends on the cell types, delivery methods, and the cell survival rates. More and more papers advocate multi-strategies for increasing the cell survival rates in-vivo. Cytokine therapy, especially erythropoietin, is also a good combination modality. Although this paper is a negative finding for the cell survival-enhancing strategies, it provides more questions for the timing, dosing, and combination strategies to testify [1].
