Stem Cell Researchers Discover New Breakthrough That Can Repair Heart Damage After A Heart Attack (animal research)

Heart attacks kill cells in the heart muscle. Medical research scientists have sought to repair the heart muscle itself after a patient experiences a heart attack. The Weil Institute of Critical Care Medicine, located in Rancho Mirage, California. The essence of the discovery is that by using stem cells obtained from the bone marrow and getting them into the heart muscle they can begin to replace the damaged heart muscles. The stem cells can replace the dead cells and change into working heart cells.
Scientists produced new,beating heart cells using stem cells obtained from the bone marrow donated from rats. The stem cells were injected into the bloodstream and found their way to the damaged heart tissue where they repaired the damage and improved heart function.
