Patients who experience heart attacks often have immediate ischemia and cell death, which causes a decrease in cardiac function, contributing to higher mortality and morbidity.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a novel method for the first time to generate cardiac pericytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells that closely resemble primary cells.
Stanford inventors have identified a treatment regimen that allows expansion of cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells in vitro.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods to identify, isolate, and use specific progenitor cell populations to generate adipose tissue and functional blood vessels in vivo.
