MSChyp-sEV-enhanced heart function restores and ameliorated fibrosis after MI. (a) Representative echocardiogram of rat heart with MSC-sEVs and MSChyp-sEV transplantation post-MI. (b) Significantly enhanced left ventricular function (EF and FS) in rats treated with MSChyp-sEVs compared with other groups (-5 for each group). (c) Representative images of heart sections analyzed with Masson’s staining at 28 days after LAD ligation (). (d) Quantitative analysis for the left ventricular fibrotic length (-5 for each group). and .
