December 2016 in “Pharmacology & Therapeutics” This review discusses the paracrine properties of cardiac stem cells and pericytes in regenerative medicine for ischaemic diseases and reports no new clinical results.
April 2017 in “Journal of dermatological science” This study found that the ability of hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into cardiac muscle cells decreased sharply with age in mice, suggesting early stem cell banking for future regenerative treatments.
April 2017 in “Journal of dermatological science” This study reported that human hair follicles containing pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into cardiac muscle and other cells, indicating their potential for future clinical applications in heart and nerve regeneration.
