Scientists use stem cells to develop muscle patches for unhealthy hearts

  • A group of German researchers is testing muscle patches made from stem cells to repair damaged hearts, with promising results in primates and one human patient.
  • The patches are created from human stem cells and can be grafted onto hearts to improve function, as noted by researchers from University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein.
  • The ongoing clinical trial involves 15 patients, and early results indicate the patches support heart pumping without side effects, according to lead author Prof. Wolfram-Hubertus Zimmermann.
  • The heart patches offer hope for those with advanced heart failure, but further trials are needed to assess long-term effectiveness, as stated by Prof. James Leiper.
