| Abstract | Ischemic heart disease is the main cause of death and morbidity in most industrialized countries. Stem- and progenitor cell-based treatment approaches for ischemic heart disease are therefore an important frontier in cardiovascular and regenerative medicine. Experimental studies have shown that bone-marrow-derived stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells can improve cardiac function after myocardial infarction, clinical phase I and II studies were rapidly initiated to translate this concept into the clinical setting. However, as of now the effects of stem/progenitor cell administration on cardiac function in the clinical setting have not met expectations. Thus, a better understanding of causes of the current limitations of cell-based therapies is urgently required. Importantly, the number and function of endothelial progenitor cells is reduced in patients with cardiovascular risk factors and/or coronary artery disease. These observations may provide opportunities for an optimization of cell-based treatment approaches. This review provides a summary of current evidence for the role and potential of stem and progenitor cells in the pathophysiology and treatment of ischemic heart disease, including the properties, and repair and regenerative capacities of various stem and progenitor cell populations. In addition, we describe modes of stem/progenitor cell delivery, modulation of their homing as well as potential approaches to 'prime' stem/progenitor cells for cardiovascular cell-based therapies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
