Australian researchers recently used stem cells to cultivate human heart valve tissue in the laboratory, which can be used to study the development and lesion process of heart valves, and to test treatments for related diseases. The research results have been published in the American “Cell-Stem Cell” magazine. Australia's Murdoch Children's Research Institute released news that tissues cultivated by the research team led by the agency can reproduce the molecular characteristics and complex structure of human heart valves. Research team member Holly Foggs said the results solved an important problem in heart valve biology research. The tissue cultivated this time helps to study how heart valves develop, mature, and become diseased, and can also be used to test potential treatments in the laboratory.
