Way down there in Australia scientists are saying stem cells from a patient's own tissue could be used to make heart muscle. By stimulating them coming into the circulation they could be harvested, collected and administered to patients where they will go to work producing new heart tissue.
For patients with tissue damage post myocardial infarction and for those with end-stage heart failure this is exciting news indeed.
Luckily patients can receive this therapy right now - safely and without any rejection problems. Imagine returning to an active life, able to do what you want rather than merely existing as a cardiac cripple.
