Summary:
University of Florida researchers will play a key role in a new national network designed to study stem cell treatments in patients with cardiovascular disease. The research will focus on adults with coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure or other conditions, including diabetes, that reduce blood flow to the heart, damaging heart muscle and hampering its ability to function properly. As part of a five-member consortium known as the Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network, UF scientists will seek to identify and test new cell therapies to improve the structure and function of the heart and its blood vessels.
