'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 cell-derived heart patches show promise for heart failure treatment
Innovative muscle patches derived from stem cells demonstrate efficacy in heart repair, improving function in primates and a human patient, with trials ahead.
‘Breakthrough’ stem-cell patches strengthened a woman’s failing heart
Grafting patches of lab-grown muscle to the surface of the heart could offer a lifeline for people waiting for a transplant.
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
Stem-cell 'heart patch' shows promise for heart failure treatment
Results from rhesus macaques provide solid ground for a first-in-human investigation of heart repair with stem cell-derived engineered heart muscle. The study is a milestone for the clinical application of the "heart patch" as an innovative treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and University Medical Center Schleswig-Hostein,
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,
Stem cells used to partially repair damaged hearts
Although the Nobel Prize for induced stem cells was handed out over a decade ago, the therapies have been slow to follow. In a new paper published in the journal Nature, however, a group of German researchers is now describing tests in primates of a method of repairing the heart using new muscle generated from stem cells.
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,
