Transendocardial CD34+ Cell Therapy does not Increase the Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2019
Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are of major concern in the field of cell therapy, potentially limiting its safety and efficacy. We sought to investigate the effects of CD34 + cell therapy on VA burden in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).

The heart transplantation [PDF]

open access: yesVnitřní lékařství, 2018
The article reviews history, indication and follow-up after heart transplantation, including the mechanical assist devices. Various complications of posttransplant follow-up are mentioned, e.g. rejection, infection, vasculopathy, meta-bolic disorders, hypertension or malignities. Pharmacotherapy used for immunosuppression is discussed.

Cardiac‐Derived ECM Microspheres for Enhanced hiPSC‐CMs Maturation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cardiac extracellular matrix microspheres derived from decellularized porcine heart provide a biomimetic 3D microenvironment for human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs). This platform supports short‐ and long‐term culture, enhances structural organization, and promotes electrophysiological and functional maturation of ...
