Using Stem Cell-derived Heart Muscle Cells to Advance Heart Regenerative Therapy

DAIC

Heart attacks typically kill millions of cardiac muscle cells, leaving the heart in a weakened state. Since mammals cannot regenerate cardiac muscle cells on their own, heart transplants are currently the only clinically viable option for patients suffering (or likely to suffer) heart failure.
