CAR T Cells to Remove Heart Scars After Injury

On this month’s Journal Club, we talk about a study that looks at how researchers created CAR T cells to target scar tissue in the heart. Being able to remove fibrotic tissue from the heart could help the heart to heal properly following an injury. A mouse model of heart disease revealed that the approach was successful in reducing fibrosis and restoring cardiac function.
