Cardiac Stem Cells to Cure Heart through Nanotechnology
Journal Title: Journal of Regenerative Biology and Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Loss of heart cells lead to heart attack. The blood flow slows down, eventually pumping gets effected. Several surgeries only weaken the heart. The solution to heart trouble is rather underlying mechanism to derive into regeneration. Several clinical trials have highlighted that stem cells have a promising effect in regeneration. More methods such as cardiac stem cells, bone marrow based cells, mesenchyme stem cells; embryonic stem cells have been effective to an extent. There have been some inconsistencies as well in these methods. Performance of heart has lowered; efficiency to pump blood has influence on selection of type of stem cells. However, future of therapies has to rely on technology. Not just ordinary technology, but nanotechnology. The future of heart repair and advancement of stem cells to cure any heart disease. Nanotechnology helps in understanding cellular layers of heart tissue, which plays a vital role for any heart repair or regeneration. This review discusses the aspects of nanoparticles and nanogel effect in curing heart. Nanoparticles have been effective in drug delivery, targeting particular area of cure. Meanwhile nanogel helps in navigating the drugs and creating a sustainable environment for treatment. Another concept highlighted in this review is nanopatch along with nano material or nanocells communication, helping in regenerative therapy. Thus key issues for future prospects are discussed below.
