Article Analysis
The article can be seen to focus on the effects of bone derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells that have been known to be highly controversial with their effects being adverse in some patients. In the article, they are focusing on testing on the hypothesis that Mesenchymal Stem Cells through mechanisms consisting of trilineage differentiation and long term engraftment regenerate the chronically infarcted myocardium. The article analysis these effects on different specimens hence coming with a conclusion in the end as to whether their hypothesis is correct or biased in some way.
It can be noted that the research needed to analyze the cells of different species so as to come about with reasonable conclusions about the experiment. The experiment results are known when there is change of the cells hence, technology which will aide in this will be of utmost help. The experiement mainly used the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) so as to investigate the function and anatomy of the cells under study. It can be seen through the imagery used that the technology aided in the resolution of the cells into a visible image so that the researcher can carefully administer his or her specimens. The technology is also used to take photography images of the specimen and analyzing any change on the cells.
