发表于NatureBiotechnology杂志的一篇研究报告指出,来源于人类胚胎干细胞的心肌细胞在移植至心率较慢的动物心脏后,仍具备生物学起搏功能并可恢复心肌的机械功能。以色列海法Technion-Israel技术研究所的研究人员用人类胚胎干细胞在体外培养出心肌细胞移植物。他们发现这些细胞与体外培养的大鼠心肌细胞之间建立了结构和电-机械联系。LiorGepstein是学院的生理学高级讲师,同时也是此研究组的成员,他解释
A study published in the journal NatureBiotechnology pointed out that cardiomyocytes derived from human embryonic stem cells still possess biological pacing function and restore myocardial mechanical function after transplanting into the heart of animals with slower heart rate. Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, used human embryonic stem cells to culture cardiomyocyte transplants in vitro. They found that these cells established structural and electromechanical connections with cultured rat cardiomyocytes in vitro. Lior Gepstein, a senior physiology lecturer at the College of Physiology and a member of the research group, explains
