Skin cells can be engineered into pulmonary valves for pediatric patients

2 septiembre 2014

Researchers have found a way to take a pediatric patient’s skin cells, reprogram the skin cells to function as heart valvular cells, and then use the cells as part of a tissue-engineered pulmonary valve. It is estimated that nearly 800 patients per year could potentially benefit from bioengineered patient-specific pulmonary valves.
