Japanese researchers have transplanted human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a primate model of myocardial infarction and were able to restore heart muscle and function in monkeys. Developed ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

Preclinical studies show that engineered heart muscle (EHM) can remuscularize damaged heart tissue, but most evidence comes from small-animal studies, which have limited ability to predict outcomes in ...

Michael Gotthardt at the Max Delbrück Center and collaborators are developing a drug to treat a common type of heart failure characterized by impaired cardiac filling. In a recent study, his group and ...

Recent advancements in medical technology have brought forth a promising innovation for repairing damaged heart muscle following a heart attack: the microneedle patch. Initial reports from 2018 ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

Japan has approved two stem cell-based therapies for treating Parkinson's disease and heart failure in a world first, through ...
