Summary:
A $300,000 New Jersey state grant to the Coriell Institute is going to bring to Camden stem-cell research that could help doctors improve the recovery of a heart. The results could eventually give doctors options that would allow them to repair human hearts, rather than replace them. The research will focus on determining how stem cells drawn from blood in umbilical cords aid the recovery of damaged heart muscle cells, and could potentially be used to treat cardiovascular disease.
