    Combined administration of laminin-221 and prostacyclin agonist enhances endogenous cardiac repair in an acute infarct rat heart

    Although endogenous cardiac repair by recruitment of stem cells may serve as a therapeutic approach to healing a damaged heart, how to effectively enhance the migration of stem cells to the damaged heart is un...

    Immunologic targeting of CD30 eliminates tumourigenic human pluripotent stem cells, allowing safer clinical application of hiPSC-based cell therapy

    Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are promising candidate cells for cardiomyogenesis in the failing heart. However, teratoma/tumour formation originating from undifferentiated iPSCs contaminating the graf...
