Scientists grow 'disease-in-a-dish' heart cells to crack genetic heart code
NCT ID NCT02413450
Summary
This study collects blood or small skin samples from adults with inherited heart rhythm conditions and healthy family members. Researchers use these samples to create special stem cells that can be turned into heart muscle cells in the lab. The goal is to study these 'disease-in-a-dish' heart cells to better understand how these genetic conditions work and potentially test future treatments.
