Coronary stents with inducible VEGF/HGF-secreting UCB-MSCs reduced restenosis and increased re-endothelialization in a swine model

Heart disease: Coated stents reduce repeated blocking of arteries Coating stents with modified stem cells may reduce the risk of repeated artery blocking in the treatment of heart disease. Currently, tubular stents are used to re-open arteries narrowed or blocked by the build-up of fatty deposits. H...
