New stem cell patch promises to cure severe heart problems
A German medical team has developed and tested a possible treatment for people with severe heart failure that could potentially help millions of cardiac patients around the world. It is based on body cells that are converted into stem cells in the laboratory.
'Breakthrough' stem-cell patches stablized woman's heart as she awaited transplant
A woman with heart failure was kept alive long enough to receive a heart transplant, in part thanks to newly developed stem-cell-derived heart tissue grafts.
Stem cells used to partially repair damaged hearts
This is especially problematic in cases of blocked blood vessels, which can repeatedly starve large areas of the heart of oxygen and nutrients, killing the cardiomyocytes there. This leads to a reduction in cardiac function and can ultimately result in death.
Scientists use stem cells to develop muscle patches for unhealthy hearts
Muscle patches generated from stem cells helped ease heart problems in monkeys and a human patient, in a potential advance towards improving treatments for the scourge of cardiac failure. Rhesus macaques’ heart functions improved using the technique,
Muscle patch made from stem cells could treat heart failure
A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being tested in humans
Muscle patches made of stem cells can repair heart injuries
"The latest findings highlight the potential of tissue patches derived from stem cells to treat heart failure, which remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide". Muscle patches made with stem cells can help repair heart injuries such as heart failures without adverse effects,
