Animal Free Research UK and the Biodiscovery Institute at the University of Nottingham have teamed up to develop cutting edge human stem-cell technology to combat cardiac fibrosis – a major cause of heart failure in the UK affecting 900,000 people annually.
Dubbed the Mini Hearts Project, the research is being led by Professor Chris Denning and his team who are combining latest human-based lab technologies to understand how genetics and drugs interplay to create effective treatments for patients.
