Year 3

We have completed the first phase of in vivo studies demonstrating that human cardiac progenitor cells were effective is restoring the function of the hearts in a heart attack model in a rat. We have shown that once injected, these human cardiac progenitor cells into the rat heart, the heart function was restored back close to normal. We plan next to test the human cardiac progenitor cells in a pig heart attack models as a preclinical model prior to human studies.
