Heart remuscularization utilizing stem cells has improved cardiac outcomes despite little cell engraftment, thereby shifting focus to cell-free therapies. Consequently, we chose induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) given their pluripotent nature, efficacy in previous studies, and easy obtainability from minimally invasive techniques.

- Edoxaban is a direct oral anticoagulant not available in France, making it important to understand its pharmacology and lab testing, especially with high tourist traffic.
- The study focused on measuring the anti-Xa activity of edoxaban using a specific chromogenic method, detailing pre-analytical and analytical processes for accurate therapeutic guidance.
- Results showed the measurement method to be reliable and straightforward, suggesting that even though it's seldom used clinically, having the ability to measure edoxaban levels in French hospitals is important due to its availability in nearby countries.
