We investigated whether neural crest-derived cardiac resident cells contribute to the restoration of intrinsic adrenergic function following transplantation in mice. Transplanted heart shows partial restoration of cardiac adrenergic activity with time. Both the intrinsic cardiac adrenergic system and extrinsic sympathetic re-innervation contribute to neuronal remodelling in the transplanted heart. Little is known about the origin and function of the intrinsic system in the transplanted heart.
