Engineered Cells Successfully Treat Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease
Scientists at UC San Francisco have shown that gene-edited cellular therapeutics can be used to successfully treat cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, potentially paving the way for developing less expensive cellular therapies to treat diseases for which there are currently few viable options. Tobias Deuse, MD The study, in mice, is the first in the emerging field of regenerative cell therapy to show that products from specially engineered induced pluripotent stem cells called âHIPâ cells can successfully be employed to treat major diseases while evading the immune system.
