据Eng G 2016年1月19日(Nat Commun,2016,7:10312-10312.)报道,美国哥伦比亚大学工程研究人员首次发现,电刺激生成自干细胞的人类心肌细胞(cardiomyocytes),能够辅助其发育和功能。心血管疾病是全世界的主要健康问题之一,尤其是心脏不能自我修复:如果心肌细胞因为损伤或疾病而丢失,它们的再生能力非常微弱。科学家们一直试图开发新的方法,通过使用生长自患者皮肤和血液细胞的心肌细胞来再生心脏。要取得成功,这些心 According to Eng G, January 19, 2016 (Nat Commun, 2016, 7: 10312-10312), it was reported for the first time by engineering researchers at Columbia University in the United States that electrical stimulation of cardiomyocytes derived from stem cells can assist in their development and function. Cardiovascular disease is one of the major health problems in the world, especially the heart can not repair itself: if cardiomyocytes are lost due to injury or disease, their ability to regenerate is very weak. Scientists have been trying to develop new ways to regenerate the heart by using cardiomyocytes that grow from the skin and blood cells of patients. To be successful, these hearts
