Summary:
Geron Corporation reported positive preclinical study data showing that GRNCM1, Geron's cardiomyocyte product derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), does not cause cardiac arrhythmias after transplantation into a model of chronic heart damage designed to test this potential safety concern. GRNCM1 is being developed for the treatment of heart failure. The data were presented today at the 31st Annual Scientific Sessions of the Heart Rhythm Society in Denver, CO by Geron collaborator Dr. Michael Laflamme from the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle, WA.
