Heart Cells Grown in Lab Dish May Help in Understanding Fabry’s Cardiac Complications

Heart cells derived from patients’ stem cells and grown in a lab dish can reveal important clues about the development of heart ailments associated with Fabry disease. The study, “A Human Stem Cell Model of Fabry Disease Implicates LIMP-2 Accumulation in Cardiomyocyte Pathology,” was published in…

Researchers Create Fabry Heart Disease Model in a Culture Dish

Japanese researchers have used stem cells from Fabry patients to create an innovative laboratory model that mimics heart disease in a culture dish. They are now planning to use this in vitro disease model as a screening system to promote drug discovery and to improve the prognosis of patients with Fabry…
