Dr. Laura Bracaglia, PhD Villanova University Polymer nanoparticles (NPs) can provide a safe and efficient delivery mechanism for therapy directly at specific tissues and cells, but achieving sufficient levels of NPs and therefore therapeutics in target tissues in humans has remained a barrier to the translation of this technology. The in vivo efficacy of polymeric […]
Dr. Sanjiv Dhingra, PhD University of Manitoba Abstract: Donor derived allogeneic stem cells including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are being tested in animal studies and clinical trials for cardiac regeneration and repair. The outcome of initial studies was very encouraging and transplanted cells were safe in the recipient heart. However, […]
