Unbreak My Heart – The Reality of the Future? Regenerative Cardiovascular Research with Focus on Minipig Model
Symposia - In-person/live
Speaker – Nina Krutrök AstraZeneca After myocardial infarction (MI) patients lose up to 1 billion cardiomyocytes. The inability of the injured mammalian heart to regenerate the loss of contractile myocardial tissue leads to ischemic heart failure (HF). Despite major advances in the treatment of HF, the root cause of impairment is still unaddressed. Human Ventricular Progenitor cells (HVPs) engraft, differentiate into cardiomyocytes, and prevent disease progression after -MI-in the murine and porcine heart.1, 2 In our research we aim to study the effect of HVPs as a new modality in a post-MI pig model. Methods: Myocardial infarction was induced using […]
