  • Cardiac, mesenchymal and endothelial progenitor cell (CPC) chimeras and methods for making and using them
    Patent number: 10071121
    Abstract: In alternative embodiments, provided are chimeric cells, which in alternative embodiments are the so-called “cardiochimeras”, and methods for making and using them. In alternative embodiments, exemplary chimeric cells as provided herein comprise a cardiac stem cell of cardiac origin or a cardiac progenitor cell fused to either a mesenchymal progenitor cell or mesenchymal stem cell, an endothelial progenitor cell or endothelial stem cell, or a cardiac stem cell or a cardiac progenitor cell. In alternative embodiments, the chimeric cells as provided herein comprise an endothelial progenitor cell, which may or may not be of cardiac origin, fused to either a mesenchymal progenitor cell or mesenchymal stem cell, an endothelial progenitor cell or endothelial stem cell, or a cardiac stem cell or a cardiac progenitor cell. In alternative embodiments, methods for making chimeric cells as provided herein further comprise selecting a cell fusion product comprising a viable chimera of the fused cells.
