It is crucial to ensure the purity of the differentiated cells for cell graft, because implantation of stem cells can give rise to cancer. It is my privilege …show more content…
Understanding the mechanism of heart disease shed light on medical intervention with minimal risk for heart disease. In current research “Derivative of Cardiac Progenitor Cells from Embryonic Stem Cells” by Lei IL, Bu L, and Wang Z, it demonstrates the methods to isolate cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by cell engineering and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). This research shows the possibility of purifying CPCs from ESCs, which is significant for cell graft or cell-based therapy. Another research “Disease Modeling and Phenotypic Drug for Diabetic Cardiomyopathy using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells” illustrates the molecular and chemical changing of human induced pluripotent stem cells in the presence of diabetic extracellular environment. This research leads us to better understand of the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy, which has no specific treatment
