Heart-in-a-Dish
Heart-in-a-Dish project is a translational research platform in which stem cells are created from patient blood samples. These stem cells are grown into heart muscle (“Heart-in-a-Dish”) and studied as personalized models of heart disease with the aim of better understanding dilated cardiomyopathy and individualizing treatments.
