"The idea behind cell therapy is to regenerate new muscle," says Xu, a professor of pediatrics in the Emory University School of Medicine. "But survival is the issue. For the heart muscle ...

researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that overexpress cyclin D2 and ...

These improvements were due to a surprising finding — proliferation of endogenous heart muscle cells in the pig hearts. This is particularly noteworthy because shortly after birth mammalian heart ...
