Scientists use stem cells to develop muscle patches for unhealthy hearts

‘Remuscularisation’ trials boost efforts to treat cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death globally
The study made patches with pluripotent stem cells, which can generate sufficient cardiac muscle cells to allow a graft on to the heart

Muscle patches generated from stem cells helped ease heart problems in monkeys and a human patient, in a potential advance towards improving treatments for the scourge of cardiac failure.   

Rhesus macaques’ heart functions improved using the technique, while preliminary results suggested similar effects on a person with advanced cardiac problems.
