Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary research and development program focusing on development of tissue constructs, regenerative matrices, and novel technologies and therapies to replace or repair both soft and mineralized tissues.

The potential positive impact of this new area of research for the eventual treatment of both vascular and cardiac diseases is considered high. For example, following a heart attack, it is important to replace both heart cells, as well as blood vessels, in order to prevent heart failure. NIH-funded research in the laboratories of Prabhu and Yu-Fai Chen, Ph.D., is designed to employ novel strategies for the delivery, survival and integration of precursor (stem) cells into the heart following a heart attack, for the repair and replacement of dead and/or damaged tissue.

Listen in as Sumanth D. Prabhu, MD explains that the potential positive impact of this new area of research for the eventual treatment of both vascular and cardiac diseases is considered high.
