Healing Hearts with Macrophages Featuring Dr. Filipa Simões | The Stem Cell Podcast

In episode 322 of the Stem Cell Podcast, we chat with Dr. Filipa Simões, Group Leader at the University of Oxford and Co-Director of the Oxford Organoid Hub. She discusses how macrophages shape heart development, repair, and regeneration, and how cellular crosstalk within the cardiac niche influences tissue outcomes after injury. Using zebrafish models, stem cell–derived cardiac organoids, and spatial genomics approaches, she explores the molecular signals that govern macrophage identity and function, with the goal of uncovering new strategies to promote cardiac regeneration and limit fibrosis. 1:48 | https://bit.ly/4uy9AeY 15:08 | https://bit.ly/4vCjAod 27:12 | https://bit.ly/4ocxzhX 35:43 | https://bit.ly/43mOpBo 45:37 | Guest Interview #Cardiac #Organoid #Development Subscribe today to never miss an episode!
