The patch that saves lives
The devastating effects of heart failure
Heart failure happens when the heart muscle is too weak to pump blood around the body effectively and is often caused by damage to the heart following a heart attack.
It’s a life-limiting condition that shortens lives and can make it difficult to do the simplest tasks. Whether that’s having a shower, walking upstairs, or playing with your children.
Regenerative medicine: ‘The Holy Grail of research’
Using stem cells to make new heart tissue is a promising approach to regenerating damaged hearts and preventing heart failure. But so far, scientists have faced many challenges especially when cells transplanted into the heart don’t function properly or survive the process.
That’s where Sanjay and his research team come in.
