Researchers evaluate   pMSCs   sheets for engineered repair and regeneration of heart tissue

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) The placenta offers an abundant source of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (pMSCs), which a new study has shown can readily form cell sheets that could be implanted in children with congenital heart defects and offer benefits for heart repair and regeneration compared to commonly used synthetic material-based scaffolds.
