Stem Cell Therapy for Heart Failures Gets a Boost

Human embryonic stem cells which are grown from muscle cells boosted damaged monkey hearts in lab experiments says a study which holds promise for therapies to replace tissues in heart. Scientists in the United States and Australia used human embryonic stem cells to cultivate billions of heart muscle cells which they transplanted into injured macaque hearts, according to research findings published in the journal Nature. "The human grafts remuscularised ...
