Transplantation of magnetic-labelled vascular cells and cardiomyocytes isolated from human embryonic stem cells in a bioactive injectable gel for myocardium regeneration after infarct (HeartRegeneration)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
Cardiovascular diseases remain the number one cause of death in the western world. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) represent a promising source of cells for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases because of their unlimited cell propagation and ability to give rise to different cell types, including cardiomyocytes, endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Cardiomyocytes isolated from hESCs have be ...

Role of Mitochondrial Physiology in Tumor Stem Cell Resistance to Chemotherapeutics (MitoCancerStem)
Start date: Aug 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
Although many advances in cancer research have heightened cases of long term survival, tumor re-growth is still a major concern. One hypothesis of the driving force behind tumor re-growth is the subpopulation of cancer stem cells found in varying types of tumors. Cancer stem cells have emerged as an important chemotherapeutic target over the past decade, as their ability to evade treatments provid ...
