Stem cells and the heart: ethics, organization and funding

Nature Clinical Practice. Cardiovascular Medicine
John F Martin

Abstract

The application of stem cell biology to repair of the heart offers therapeutic potential. However, randomized, double-blind, controlled trials are required to clarify under what conditions it may be effective. The unprecedented nature of the discovery of a therapeutic role for autologous stem cells brings with it unprecedented challenges in clinical application of basic biology, ethics, funding and organization. It is suggested that the academic community should show leadership.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
