Extending the Window of Use for Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Seeded Biological Sutures

Cell therapy, including human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) therapy, has the potential to treat different pathologies, including myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). Biological sutures composed of fibrin have been shown to effectively deliver hMSCs to infarcted hearts. However, hMSCs rapidly degra...
