Where does PromoCell source heart tissue for Human Cardiac Myocyte (HCM) isolation?
Specifically:
- The tissue is taken from the explanted heart (the removed native heart), not from the transplanted donor heart.
- In some cases, heart tissue is also obtained from LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) surgeries, where cardiac tissue becomes available during the implantation procedure.
- All tissue sourcing follows ethical guidelines and applicable regulations.
