CARDIO REPAIR EUROPEAN MULTIDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVE
A European Collaborative Research Project supported by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013). Grant Agreement: Collaborative Project-Cooperation-Health-F5-2010-242038.
The Cardio Repair European Multidisciplinary Initiative (CARE-MI) is a large-scale integrating project funded by the European Union which involves 18 partners, counting with RTDs and SMEs. The project aims to develop myocardial regenerative therapies against Ischemic Heart Disease produced after Acute Myocardial Infarction. These therapies, based on the in situ activation, multiplication and differentiation of the endogenous CSCs will be:
• Affordable, in terms of the production costs of the medicinal product .   • Readily and widely available, implying that the product may be easily stored and readied for application at all times at minimum cost.    • Easy to apply and compatible with current clinical standard of care for AMI, including the widespread use of  PTCA interventions.

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement Collaborative Project - Cooperation - Health-F5-2010-242038
