A team of researchers from the Temple University School of Medicine (TUSM) has conducted a study involving the use of communications modules secreted by stem cells to help limit the damage caused by a heart attack. The team performed tests on mice, with extremely promising results…
The results were extremely promising, with the stem cell exosome mice exhibiting improved heart function, less scar tissue, lower levels of programmed cell death and better capillary development around the damaged area. There was also a higher presence of cardiac progenitor cells – the heart’s own stem cells – in the stem cell exosome-injected mice. Overall, the heartbeat of the mice was stronger than those in the control group, with less unhealthy enlargement of the organ.
