Stem cell therapy effectively treats heart attacks in animals.
2004 NOV 29 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Results from an animal study conducted at Johns Hopkins University show that stem cell therapy can be used effectively to treat heart attacks, or myocardial infarcts, in pigs.
Stem cells taken from another pig's bone marrow, when injected into the animal's damaged heart, were able to restore the heart's function to its original condition.
If further animal studies and human clinical trials prove equally successful, the Hopkins researchers believe this could be a new, widely applicable treatment to repair and reverse the damage done to heart muscle that has been infarcted, or destroyed, after losing its blood supply. Nearly 8 million Americans alive today have suffered at least one heart attack and so are at greater risk for chronic heart failure or another, potentially fatal,…
