New research shows individuals with heart disease exhibit a higher quantity of senescent cells, also known as 'zombie' cells, than those without the condition.
New research shows individuals with heart disease exhibit a higher quantity of senescent cells, also known as"zombie" cells, than those without the condition.A blood test that detects"zombie cells" could increase the availability of hearts for transplant, new research suggests.
Newcastle University researchers are currently developing a test that could assist doctors in assessing the viability of a donor heart for transplantation quickly.Fortunately, a newly developed test could potentially raise the number of available organs and offer hope to more patients in need of transplants.
According to Dr Gavin Richardson, the senior lecturer and head of the vascular medicine and biology theme at Newcastle University, researchers are exploring the possibility of using a blood test to identify older potential donors with biologically young, healthy hearts that could be appropriate for transplantation.
