Cell technologies in the regenerative medicine of the heart: main problems and ways of development

The potential of heart tissues for self-regeneration is not high and supposedly limited to a small number of the niche stem cells. This makes it extremely important to develop regenerative technologies for the myocardium based on modern techniques, for instance, cell re-programming and 3D bioprinting. However, it is often difficult to differentiate the sensational reports regularly appearing in mass media on “breakthrough” technologies from...
