Japan has invented a technique for using human-induced pluripotent stem cells to grow myocardial cells in large quantities.

Japanese researchers have developed a technique that uses human-induced pluripotent stem cells to grow myocardial cells in large quantities.
artificially induced heart muscle cells can help repair damaged hearts, as can "make stickers", and could be used in the future for heart disease treatment.
induced pluripotent stem cells, which are "reprogrammed" to mature body cells, have similar differentiation potential to embryonic stem cells.
Japan's Qingying University recently announced that the university researchers improved the experimental method, the length and width of about 30 cm and 20 cm of induction pluripotent stem cell dishes superimposed into 10 layers, forming a special multi-layer culture device, and invented a breathing system, evenly deliver oxygen and carbon dioxide to it, successfully cultivate about 1 billion cardiomyopathy cells at a time.
heart diseases such as myocardial infarction can cause the heart to lose hundreds of millions of myocardial cells, which do not regenerate.
Induced pluripotent and embryonic stem cells have the function of differentiated into multiple cells in the body, and the medical community is trying to replace dead heart muscle cells and repair damaged hearts by using artificially induced heart muscle cells as "creative".
, however, there has been a lack of technology to grow high-safety heart muscle cells.
latest results from Japanese researchers published in the new issue of the American Journal of Stem Cell Reports.
university plans to conduct clinical trials next year to use the technology in the treatment of heart disease.
