Cell Transplant
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac pressure overload can lead to problems for patients with congenital heart defects, and using stem cell-derived heart cells might help improve heart function alongside surgery.
- Researchers successfully implanted human stem cell-derived heart cells into the hearts of rhesus macaques facing induced pressure overload, achieving good integration with the existing heart tissue.
- Although some monkeys experienced episodes of ventricular tachycardia after the cell transplant, these events generally resolved within a few weeks, indicating a need for monitoring but also promising potential for this treatment approach.
