Combining cell types may lead to improved cardiac cell therapy following a myocardial infarction

UW–Madison researchers, working with the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center and collaborators in Taiwan, showed that combining two types of stem-cell-derived heart cells improves repair of heart muscle after a heart attack — a therapy validated in mice and, crucially, in nonhuman primates at WNPRC

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Academia Sinica, Taiwan, have identified a novel strategy that harnesses a combination of lab-grown cells to regenerate damaged heart muscle, marking a noteworthy advancement in cardiac regeneration research. …
