IVS’s Functional 3D tissue models recapitulate the physiological properties of human cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle and connective tissue. Application of induced pluripotent technology allows to fabricate tissues in diseased states, e.g., hereditary cardiac diseases, cardiac fibrosis, cancer and orphan diseases. ...
IVS’s functional 3D tissue models reconstitute the physiological properties of human cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle as well as connective tissues that support cancer growth. ...
The results, which will be presented today during the “Disease models and Clinical Applications: Musculo-skeletal Diseases” poster session at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) annual meeting in Washington, D.C., demonstrate that a gene therapy using hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) significantly reduced toxic accumulation of glycogen in a mouse model of Pompe ...
The published results showed statistically significant and clinically relevant evidence of CAP-1002’s ability to improve both skeletal and cardiac muscle function in patients in the latter stages of the disease. ...
Specifically, the study demonstrated that young men in the advanced stages of DMD experienced improvements in both skeletal and cardiac muscle function after receiving four doses of CAP-1002 over the course of one year. ...
This procedure consists in revascularizing the cardiac muscle, by inserting one or more implants (stents) into the arteries that supply it with blood. ...

Especially for degenerative diseases where cell loss and low self-repair potential occur, such as cardiac muscle loss or degenerative neurological disorders, regenerative cell therapy offers unprecedented potential to have a significant benefit for patients. ...
A recent study published by the Proceedings of National Academy of Science has found that exposure to the chemical triclosan is linked to muscle function impairments. Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent typically found in products such as soaps, deodorants, toothpaste, mouthwash, clothes, bedding, carpet, toys, and trash bags. ...
In "test tube" experiments, triclosan impaired the ability of isolated heart muscle cells and skeletal muscle fibers to contract. Specifically, the team evaluated the effects of triclosan on molecular channels in muscle cells that control the flow of calcium ions, creating muscle contractions. ...
