Study shows muscle tissue grown from stem cells can repair heart damage

May, 2012 — A Japanese research team has developed a promising new treatment for heart failure by growing sheets of new heart muscle tissue from stem cells. When implanted in damaged rat hearts, the bioengineered tissue improved heart function.

New production method could fill major need for new sources of MSCs

Durham, NC – Stem cell scientists from the University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research (UQCCR) in Australia have discovered a new method for producing mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) from human iPSCs that substantially improves on current methods and speeds up conversion time. The research, published today in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine, reveals that treating iPSCs with the transforming growth factor-ß pathway inhibitor SB431542 leads to rapid and uniform MSC conversion of pluripotent stem cells without the need for embryoid body formation or feeder cell co-culture.

Study shows cardiac stem cells outperform bone marrow stem cells in treating heart attacks

Durham, NC – A new study by collaborating researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and L’Institut du Thorax in Nantes, France, indicates that stem cells derived from cardiac tissue are far more effective in repairing damage caused by a heart attack than therapies using stem cells taken from bone marrow. The study, published today in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine, suggests that human fetal cardiac-derived c-kit+ stem cells (CSCs) can be 30 times more potent than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treating a heart attack.
