New study allows researchers to more efficiently form human heart cells from stem cells

by Rebekah McBride, University of Wisconsin-Madison Credit: CC0 Public Domain Lab-grown human heart cells provide a powerful tool to understand and potentially treat heart disease. However, the methods to produce human heart cells from pluripotent stem cells are not optimal. Fortunately, a new study out of the University of Wisconsin–Madison Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine...

Researchers identify novel approach to repair the human heart

by  Loyola University Health System Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A team of scientists from Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine have discovered a critical component for renewing the heart’s molecular motor, which breaks down in heart failure. Approximately 6.2 million Americans have heart failure, an often fatal condition characterized by the heart’s inability to pump enough blood...

Stem cells used to regenerate the external layer of a human heart

Summary: A process using human stem cells can generate the cells that cover the external surface of a human heart — epicardium cells — according to a multidisciplinary team of researchers. Heart progenitors cells derived from human stem cells can be further specified to heart cells belong to external layer or muscle layer of a...
