Precursor Cells Generated From Human Embryonic Stem Cells Show Ability to Repair Vascular Damage in Animals
New, scalable population of hemangioblast cells halves the death rate following heart attack and repairs ischemic limbs and damaged vasculature
09-May-2007 -
Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. reported for the first time that hemangioblast precursor cells derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells can be used to achieve vascular repair. The research, which appears in the Nature Methods, by Advanced Cell Technology (ACT) and its collaborators, describes ...
