Myocyte Derived Cardiac Spheroids for Post Infarct Cardiac Regeneration

Research has shown that autologous progenitor-like cardiac spheroids, when delivered to an infarcted heart, are able to restore mechanical function. These spheroids are made by isolating and expanding autologous cardiac progenitor cells. Though these results are promising, the process for creating c...
