Abstract:
Cardiac regenerative medicine is an emerging field that aims to revolutionize the treatment of heart disease through innovative therapies and technologies. This review highlights the key advancements in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) therapy that are paving the way for novel approaches to repair and regenerate damaged cardiac tissue. Substantial progress has been made over the past decade, laying a strong foundation for future developments. However, to fully realize the potential of hiPSC-based therapies, it is crucial to address challenges related to safety, scalability, and ethical considerations. As the field evolves, cardiac regenerative medicine promises to transform cardiovascular care by providing more effective, personalized, and sustainable treatments, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the current state and prospects of regenerative therapies for heart disease, emphasizing the opportunities and challenges in this rapidly advancing field.
