Brief description Cardiovascular diseases and heart failure rates are increasing worldwide. This is largely a result of the heart’s limited capacity for self-repair. Stem cells now provide an exciting potential novel therapy. We have recently demonstrated the feasibility of this therapy in a preclinical model of heart attack. Nevertheless, further work is required before human clinical trials can take place. This project will dismantle barriers preventing progression to these clinical trials.
