Heart muscle cells grown from stem ... the cells to support existing cardiac tissue," Emborg says. "Our goal with this particular study, as a precursor to human studies, was to make sure that ...

But classical differentiation protocols to create these muscle cells are long, complex and difficult to reproduce. An advanced technique now allows human iPSCs to be converted into striated ...

Members of Theme Six are developing stem cell and cellular reprogramming strategies to treat cardiovascular diseases such as infarction in situ. The goal is to use viral vectors to induce ...

To explore further, the team of researchers, led by clinical scientist Matthew Martens, turned to human cells. In the lab, ...

Pathways to new treatments for heart failure take time—as long as four decades for two now accepted therapies. So, new ...

We have isolated and thoroughly characterised a population of skeletal muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) that enhance repair of damaged skeletal muscle fibres by directly differentiating into ...

Discover how heart pumps enhance muscle regeneration in failed hearts, offering new hope for heart failure patients.
