Heart failure is very costly in the Australian medical system with few effective treatments. We recently developed a new method for generating heart tissue which has potential for a surgical heart failure treatment. We plan now to explore new sources for donor cells from the patients own stem cells, to examine how to best collect the cells during handling and determine whether these methods can provide functional cardiac grafts to improve heart function.

心力衰竭在澳大利亚医疗系统中非常昂贵，几乎没有有效的治疗方法。我们最近开发了一种新的方法来产生心脏组织，这对外科心力衰竭治疗有潜力。我们现在计划从患者自身的干细胞中探索供体细胞的新来源，研究如何在处理过程中最好地收集细胞，并确定这些方法是否可以提供功能性心脏移植物以改善心脏功能。
