Stem cell therapies for heart disease get one step closer

"New research from the University of Bristol (UK) brings stem cell therapies for heart disease one step closer. The findings reveal that our bodies' ability to respond to an internal 'mayday' signal may hold the key to success for long-awaited regenerative medicine that could significantly contribute to heart disease treatment. Dr Nicolle Krankel and colleagues at the Bristol Heart Institute have discovered how our bodies initiate DIY rescue and repair mechanisms when blood supply is inadequate, for example in diabetic limbs or in the heart muscle during heart attack." - eMaxHealth
