After thousands of years, science has not really progressed … they are still putting human organs in tubes and jars.
Scientists reveal how to mend a broken heart (with a stem cell)
Stem cell therapies offer the promise of radical new treatments for everything from Parkinson’s to heart disease.
However, researchers have so far struggled to control the cells, the master cells of the body which can be turned into any other cell.
A US team now believes have have made a major step towards potential treatments for cardiac disease with the discovery of a molecule than can turn a stem cell into a heart cell.
Researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, the Human BioMolecular Research Institute, and ChemRegen, Inc. have been searching for molecules that convert stem cells to heart cells for about eight years — and now they’ve found one.
