In vivo potential of CiMS-iPSCs in myocardial infarction model. (a, b) To check the in vivo therapeutic potential of CiMS-iPSCs, we performed a myocardial infarction model in nude mice. The group injected with differentiated CiMS-iPSC showed significant improvement in infarct area reduction and cardiac systolic function (, HDF-iPSC vs. CiMS-iPSC vs. hESCs: % vs. % vs. %, value < 0.001; per group). (c) CiMS-iPSCs could differentiate into endothelial lineage cells more efficiently than other groups. (d) Quantitative data of capillary density in each group.
