Stem Cell Therapy Could Help Repair Failing Hearts.
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine looked at 20 patients with heart failure.
They found those who had stem cells injected into damaged parts of their hearts were able to pump more blood than those who had surgery alone.
Researcher Professor Robert Kormos said the findings could ’revolutionise’ treatment.

2. These were adult stem cells.

Research with adult stem cells has always been pursued; there were never any restrictions.
