Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that injecting adult bone marrow stem cells into skeletal muscle can repair cardiac tissue, reversing heart failure.
... organism. The finding also has implications for the testing of irregular or diseased tissue, such as beating cardiac tissue, which can be modeled and studied.
The findings were published in the June ...
