Adult Stem Cells Repair Heart Attack Damage

newswise.com

Adult stem cells may help repair heart tissue damaged by heart attack according to the findings of a new study to be published in the December 8 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Results from the Phase I study show stem cells from donor bone marrow appear to help heart attack patients recover better by growing new blood vessels to bring more oxygen to the heart.

All Pumped Up: Can Stem Cells Fix Human Hearts? : NPR

npr.org — “Regenerating functioning heart cells has been a goal of medicine for more than a century. There are stem cells in our hearts that regenerate heart tissue — they just do it at a glacial pace, not nearly fast enough to make repairs in the event of an injury. Now, scientists are trying to juice up those cells so they can repair damage caused by heart attacks.View full resource at npr.org

Stem cells: A 'stitch in time' could help damaged hearts

sciencedaily.com — “Scientists have demonstrated the feasibility of a novel technology that a surgeon could use to deliver stem cells to targeted areas of the body to repair diseased or damaged tissue. The technique involves bundling biopolymer microthreads into biological sutures and seeding the sutures with stem cells. The team has shown that the adult bone-marrow-derived stem cells will multiply while attached to the threads and retain their ability to differentiate and grow into other cell types.View full resource at sciencedaily.com
