Heart muscle cells grown from patient stem cells—known as human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes, or hiPSC-CMs—are a promising way to repair hearts damaged by heart attacks and ...

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of heart failure, disability and mortality worldwide. In this study, the effects of intramyocardial injection of human platelet lysate (HPL), bone marrow ...

Heart disease, the No. 1 killer of Americans, can affect people at any time across their lifespans—even from birth, when heart conditions are known as congenital heart defects. Regenerating tissue to ...

Mario Ricciardi, a young Italian molecular biologist, was thrilled when he was selected to work with one of Harvard Medical School’s most successful stem cell researchers. His new boss, Dr. Piero ...

Figure 1. Schematic of novel stem cell therapy with metabolic glycoengineering (MGE) for brain repair after cardiac arrest (CA). Conditions were characterized and optimized in vitro to modify human ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have identified an innovation in stem cell therapy to regenerate neural cells in the brain after cardiac arrest in an animal model.
