It has been observed that full restoration of myocardial structure and function may be achievable with a combination of ongoing research, creativity, and perseverance. This report summarizes the importance of skeletal muscle stem cells and how they can play a key role to surpass current results in the future and enhance the efficacious implementation of regenerative cell therapy for heart failure.
