Epicardial Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells in Myocardial Infarction: Investigating the Influence of Diabetes
FY 2023-24
Summary
Our dedicated team of researchers is currently delving into a promising solution to tackle the heart damage caused by diabetes-induced myocardial damage. Our focus is on exploring the potential therapeutic benefits of epicardial adipose tissue-derived stem cells (EAT-SCs) in aiding cardiac repair and angiogenesis. These specialized cells are located around the heart and have been found to play a crucial role in maintaining heart health. Our main objective is to conduct a comprehensive and thorough study of EAT-SCs and their function in normal heart activity, as well as their response under diabetic conditions. With our findings, we aim to create innovative and tailored therapies that can effectively repair damaged hearts caused by diabetes. This groundbreaking research has the potential to make a significant impact in the fight against cardiovascular diseases.
