Cardiac Regeneration using Human Embryonic Stem Cells: Producing Cells for Future Therapy
1 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has generated much interest in the field of regenerative medicine. Because of their ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, hESCs offer a novel therapeutic paradigm for myocardial repair by furnishing a supply of cardiomyocytes (CMs) that would ultimately restore normal myocardial function when delivered to the damaged heart....
