Gladstone Researchers Hone In On Differentiation Of Heart Stem Cells

Source: Gladstone Institutes
Date: September 12, 2005

Summary:

A team of scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) has identified a key factor in heart development that could help advance gene therapy for treating cardiac disorders. The findings could help cardiac stem cell researchers one day develop strategies for gene and cell- mediated cardiac therapies.
