  • Description: Using chicken embryonic heart cells, the researchers confirmed that the scaffold could support heart tissue growth at sufficient cell concentrations. Then they seeded the scaffold with cardiac muscle cells derived from human embryonic stem cells. These cells not only survived - which is the first hurdle that transplanted cells must overcome, says Chuck Murry, professor of pathology and bioengineering - they also accumulated in the channels and multiplied faster than other types of cells.
