Brief description 300 000 Australians currently have heart failure with 400 new cases weekly. New therapies are urgently needed. We can now create heart muscle grafts that can be transplanted after ñheart attackî but graft survival in this hostile environment is low. This project will investigate use of different combinations of human cell types that will cooperate together to improve survival/function of heart muscle grafts, advancing this promising strategy towards being a viable new treatment for heart failure
