Differentiation of c-kit-BMCs into cardiomyocytes. a, b Consecutive tissue sections at 15–21 days after infarction. The regenerated myocytes are positive for α-SA (a, red), for mCherry (b, red), YFP (b, green) and CFP (b, blue). Labeling of DAPI (white) is shown in the upper and lower right panels. Scale bars = 100 µm. c Measurements of ventricular pressures and dP/dt in untreated infarcts (MI: n = 11) and cell-treated infarcts (MI + BMCs: n = 8). *P < 0.05
