Innovative muscle patches derived from stem cells demonstrate efficacy in heart repair, improving function in primates and a human patient, with trials ahead.

This is especially problematic in cases of blocked blood vessels, which can repeatedly starve large areas of the heart of ...

A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being tested in humans ...

Damaged hearts could be mended using small "patches" of heart muscle grown in the lab, say scientists writing in Nature. The ...

Patches of beating, lab-grown muscle sewn into failing hearts can keep patients alive for years while they wait for a transplant, scientists have shown. In a major breakthrough, 15 patients suffering ...

A new biological patch, designed from heart cells grown in the laboratory, could bring a glimmer of hope in the treatment of ...
