By direct injection only a few cells were detected at the periscar region. (Reprinted withpermission from Leni, A., Kajstura, J., and Anversa, P. (2005).

The cell retention rates were compared between the two delivery methods. (D) (Reprintedwith permission from [106].)0169-409X/$ – see front matter © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
