Cardiac patches for heart repair
Drug discovery / Therapeutics
When a heart attack occurs, it causes damage to the heart muscle.
This damage can increase the likelihood of repeat heart attacks and even heart failure. This team have previously developed a cardiac patch which has the potential to help the heart repair after a heart attack, using stem cells. This project aims to modify and improve the team’s existing patch through combining it with new materials.
This has the potential to significantly improve recovery after a heart attack, reducing further heart attacks and heart failure.
