14 November 2006 A malfunctioning heart could be restored to health with the help of stem cells taken from the patient's own body, according to a study of how to repair the effects of cardiac failure.
Scientists have shown that it is possible to grow cardiac stem cells in the laboratory before transplanting them back into a patient to replace heart tissue. The findings demonstrate the possibility of rebuilding cardiac muscle destroyed during a heart attack, offering an alternative treatment to a complete heart transplant operation. |
