cardiac cell therapy targets the restoration of blood flow to the heart and repairs damaged heart tissue caused by heart attack or ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease.
Specifically, we study the molecular events regulating early and late developmental decisions that instruct progenitor cells to adopt
a cardiac cell fate and subsequently fashion a functioning heart.

the cardiac cells, the ventricular arrhythmia may recur.
To solve this problem, Smadar Cohen, a tissue engineer at Ben - Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheba, Israel, and colleagues seeded rat

cardiac cells derived from human stem cells (green) meshed and beat with primates» heart cells (red).
In a study published online in Circulation Research late last year, Chaudhry and colleagues found that fetal cells in mice migrated to the mother's heart, differentiated into functioning
cardiac cells, and accelerated repair to damaged heart tissue.
The researchers were able to demonstrate, for instance, that factors responsible for hypertrophy — enlargement of
cardiac cells for instance in athletes and pregnant women — also led to a growth in volume in the
cardiac cells that had been cultured on a film of eADF4 (κ16).
In addition to
cardiac cells, Petzold and Aigner attempted to apply other cells, such as connective tissue cells and blood vessel cells, to the film, and were successful each time.
They compared these cells to cells they had applied to a film of fibronectin, which is similar to the natural environment of
cardiac cells.
Fluid forces can cause cultured
cardiac cells to alter gene expression patterns and rearrange their cytoskeleton.

cardiac cells after transplantation.

cardiac cells, study how they respond to different drugs or stimuli and see how they compare to normal cells.
In many animals, including humans, electrical impulses must spread rapidly and in a coordinated fashion along a dedicated network of
cardiac cells in order for the heart to pump blood efficiently to the rest of the body.
Next, the scientists created
cardiac cells missing the same transcription factors to investigate how their interactions affect gene expression.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes today are announcing a research breakthrough in mice that one day may help doctors restore hearts damaged by heart attacks — by converting scar - forming

The «heart - on - a-chip,» which builds off previous successful iCHIP research on the peripheral and central nervous systems, involves the use of human
cardiac cells cultured for up to nine days on the engineered chip.
This «biohybrid» material has been shown to enhance cell growth and, when electrical stimulation is applied, directs
cardiac cells to respond and align in the direction of the electrical impulse.
