Cell and Gene Therapy

Track 7: Stem Cell in Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) includes congestive heart failure stroke and hypertension, coronary artery disease. Most of these diseases may occur when there is a less oxygen supply to heart cells / Cardiomyocytes which damaged as being supplied by less oxygen as well as less blood which we can treated by stem cell therapy by inducing some bone-marrow derived mononuclear cells, umbilical cord blood cells, Mesenchyme stem cells or Cardiac stem cells in to the damaged portion of heart. These cells interspersed in to heart and secrete certain portions and paracrine factors that repair of the damaged area by cardiac tissue Regeneration.
