Scientists have developed an easier, cheaper, and more efficient system for creating three - dimensional
human heart tissue from stem cells.
Wagner, associate professor in Emory's School of Medicine, and her research team will examine the physiological properties
of human heart tissue from pediatric patients.
Researchers in the lab of Myra Lipes, M.D., have shown in both mice and people that myocarditis can be triggered by a protein called alpha - myosin heavy chain, which is found only in heart muscle and in especially low quantities
in human heart tissue.
He wrote, «the recruitment of stem cells into cardiomyocytes for new cardiac muscle formation could explain
why human heart tissue tends to have a low... age.»
Similarly, other methods of developing artificial organs have also surfaced such as in March when researchers were able to successfully utilize spinach leaves to create actual
beating human heart tissue.
Horvath found, too,
human heart tissue has a lower biological age.
