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 ...

Chunhui Xu and her team leveraged the ISS National Laboratory ® for cardiac cell research to accelerate the development of cell-based regenerative therapies that could one day reverse heart damage.

“This work is an important step in advancing stem cell technologies for bioengineering vascular grafts for cardiac vessel repair and their clinical translation.” Currently, the only clinically ...

A new biological patch, designed from heart cells grown in the laboratory ... high blood pressure, or coronary artery disease, affects the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.

These findings may also pave the way to regenerative therapy of other organs besides the heart,” commented principal investigator Hina Chaudhry. “They almost seem like a super-charged population of ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...
