Research Interest

Novel therapeutic approaches using cell transplantation are being studied to regenerate injured myocardium. Embryonic stem (ES) or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells may have an advantage over adult stem cells because these cells exhibit long-term proliferation in vitro, and potentially can provide an unlimited supply of tissue to meet human transplantation needs.
