40 Summary The preliminary results suggest the capacity of a fibrinbased cardiac tissue equivalent to engraft 4 weeks after transplantation, which is accompanied by a reduction of infarct size, and improvement of LV chamber function. The mechanisms of the reduced infarct size are not clear, but are likely related to the cytokine related protective effect. The optimized synergetic effects of the cytokine signaling pathways are depend upon communications between myocytes and non-cm cardiac cells.

44 Aims To develop an efficient hipsc-cm selection protocol To examine the efficiency of a patch and microspheres based enhanced delivery of hipsc - 3 lineage cardiovascular cells for myocardial repair using an immuno-suppressed porcine model of postinfarction LV remodeling: - engraftment rate, - vascular density and myocardial perfusion, - myocardial protection and apoptosis - tracking the endogenous CV PCs with BrdU Using novel NMR technology to examine the myocardial bioenergetics and ATP turnover rate in the in vivo hearts with or without cell transplantation The electrophysiology stability was examined by loop recorder and recipient myocardial differential protein expression profile by proteomics
