SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CARDIAC TISSUE REPAIR

摘要

The present application relates to cardiac stem cells and a method of using cardiac stem cells to repair damaged heart tissue. In one embodiment, cardiac stem cells, such as cardiosphere-derived cells and/or cardiospheres, can be seeded, embedded and/or cultured in a biomaterial or matrix made from, for example, a hydrogel, that is subsequently administered to a subject to repair damaged heart tissue.
