Cardiac Regenerative Medicine

Cardiac regenerative medicine involves developing techniques to repair or replace damaged heart tissue, often caused by heart attacks or disease. It uses various approaches such as stem cell therapy, which introduces special cells capable of forming new heart muscle, and tissue engineering, which creates lab-grown heart tissues or patches. The goal is to restore heart function, reduce scarring, and improve patients’ quality of life. This field is rapidly advancing, aiming to offers promising treatments that may one day help the heart heal itself, reducing the need for transplants or long-term medication.
