New Myocardial Infarction Treatment Patch Could Improve Heart Function

Physicians have successfully transplanted a highly integrable in vivo priming bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) sheet based on the utilization of a thermos-responsive nanofiber membrane. Their work has attracted attention from academic circles for developing a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) sheet specially designed for enhancement of an angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels), which promoted cardiac repair when transplanted together with the BMSC sheet.
