Funded Activity Summary

Stem cells have special characteristics; they are able to be grown quickly and they have the potential to turn into different types of cell. These two characteristics indicate the potential to use these cells to repair diseased organs. Heart disease is an ideal area to investigate the use of such cell-based therapy options. This is because a weakened heart muscle is very common (especially as we age) and because without assistance, the body is not able to repair a weakened heart.
