Heart Research
Investigating the therapeutic potential of iPS-derived exosomes in cardiac regeneration and cardiovascular disease.
Cardiac Applications in Regenerative Medicine
Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Traditional treatments often address symptoms rather than underlying tissue damage. iPS-derived exosomes represent a novel approach to cardiac regeneration.
Our research focuses on understanding how exosome cargo—including proteins, lipids, and microRNAs—may influence cardiac cell behavior and support tissue repair processes.

Conditions Under Investigation
Current research explores iPS exosome applications across multiple cardiac conditions.
Myocardial Infarction Recovery
Research into exosome-mediated cardiac tissue protection and repair following heart attack events.
Heart Failure
Investigating the potential of iPS exosomes to support cardiac function in heart failure models.
Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Exploring therapeutic approaches for heart muscle damage caused by reduced blood flow.
Cardiac Fibrosis
Studying anti-fibrotic mechanisms to address scarring and stiffening of heart tissue.
Proposed Mechanisms
Research suggests several pathways through which iPS exosomes may support cardiac health.
Anti-inflammatory Effects
Exosomes may help modulate inflammatory responses following cardiac injury.
Angiogenesis Promotion
Supporting the formation of new blood vessels to improve cardiac blood supply.
Cardiomyocyte Protection
Potential protective effects on heart muscle cells during stress conditions.
Tissue Regeneration
Investigating exosome cargo that may support cardiac tissue repair processes.
Current Research Stage
Cardiac applications of iPS-derived exosomes are currently in preclinical investigation. Research is ongoing to understand mechanisms, optimize delivery, and establish safety profiles.
Important Considerations
- These therapies are investigational and not yet approved for clinical use
- Results from preclinical studies may not translate to human outcomes
- Additional research is needed to establish efficacy and safety
