Zusammenfassung
Stammzellen wird ein großes Potenzial in der regenerativen Medizin eingeräumt. Aufgrund ihrer Fähigkeit, sich unbegrenzt zu vermehren und gleichzeitig auf definierte Differenzierungsreize anzusprechen, finden pluripotente Stammzellen eine besondere Berücksichtigung. Herzmuskelzellen können heute in großer Menge aus pluripotenten Stammzellen gewonnen werden und dienen als Ausgangsmaterial sowohl für die Simulation von Herzerkrankungen in der Kulturschale („patient in a dish“) als auch für die zellbasierte Herzreparatur. Auf dem Boden der rasanten biotechnologischen Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre befinden wir uns heute in der Phase der Translation dieser Konzepte in die klinische Anwendung.
Abstract
Stem cells are attributed with having a great potential in regenerative medicine. Pluripotent stem cells are particularly interesting because they can be multiplied indefinitely and also differentiated under defined conditions. Currently, cardiomyocytes can be differentiated very effectively from pluripotent stem cells, making the former an attractive starting material for cardiac disease modeling in a culture dish (patient in a dish) and cell based-therapy in heart failure. The rapid biotechnological advances made in recent years now enable these concepts to be translated into clinical applications.
