Kristy Red-Horse, a biologist specializing in coronary artery development and disease, discussed recent advancements in the treatment of heart blockages that could potentially replace invasive bypass surgeries. The discussion took place on Stanford Engineering’s podcast, The Future of Everything, hosted by Russ Altman.
Red-Horse highlighted the potential of growing new arteries using molecules such as CXCL12, which has been shown to promote artery regrowth in mice. She emphasized how advancements in medical imaging, gene expression atlases, and drug delivery mechanisms could eventually lead to human trials.
Despite these promising developments, Red-Horse noted that significant work remains before these treatments can be applied to humans.
