Embryonic stem cells regenerate heart tissue damaged from heart attacks in primates
by beredim in Stem Cells Freak
Image showing an implanted graft of cardiac cells derived from human stem cells (green) meshed and beat with primates' heart cells (red).Stem cell therapy can regenerate heart muscle in primates, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Washington.The researchers used heart cells created from human embryonic stem cells to successfully restore damaged heart muscle in monkeys. The results of the experiment suggest that the approach should be feasible in humans, the res........ Read more »

Using molecular beacons to purify cardiac muscle cells derived from stem cells
by beredim in Stem Cells Freak
Fluorescent molecular beacons allow researchers to distinguish between cardiac muscle cells and other types of cells. Transplanting pure cardiac muscle cells into a patient affected by heart disease is the ultimate goal for many cardiology researchers working on stem cells. A pure population of cardiac muscle cells is essential to avoid tumor formation after transplantation, but creating one has been technically challenging.Now, researchers at Emory and Georgia Tech have described a new method ........

Bone derived stem cells can heal damaged hearts
by beredim in Stem Cells Freak
Diagram of a myocardial infarctionMany of those surviving a heart attack find themselves back in the hospital with a failing heart just a few years later. Unfortunately the outcome often is unfavorable, due to the limited treatment options.Now, researchers at Temple University School of Medicine's Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) say the found hope in an unlikely source; stem cells in cortical, or compact, bone. In their latest study, they show that when it comes to the regeneration of ........ Read more »

Stem cells can restore cardiac beat synchrony
by beredim in Stem Cells Freak
According to a new study published in The Journal of Physiology, stem cells used for treating injured heart tissue also help restore synchronous pumping.The authors of the study suggest a novel strategy of 'biological resynchronisation' in which induced pluripotent stem cells repair heart muscle damage to reestablish correct cardiac motion.A heart attack limits local oxygen, which in turn kills areas of cardiac tissue -- called 'infarcted' areas -- and also leave scarring. This........ Read more »

Stem cell source and donor's age have an impact on the therapeutic potential of adult stem cells
by beredim in Stem Cells Freak
A research team from Denmark and Sweden released a study today where they compare the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and mesenchymal stem cells for treating the damages induced after a heart attack. Their findings indicate that ASCs may have a greater capacity for reversing the aforementioned damages.Full Story... Read more »
