CD8+ T cells mediate the immune response to human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte sheets in mice models

Caption

Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte sheets can be a life-saving intervention for patients with advanced cardiovascular disease. Administration of immunosuppressive agents to counter CD8+ T cell-triggered tissue rejection can improve treatment outcomes.
