Scientists develop a patch to repair hearts: Why this is groundbreaking
Researchers writing in the journal 'Nature' say they have developed a ‘patch’ that can repair failing hearts. Results of the clinical trial, which took place in 2021, were published on Wednesday. A 46-year-old woman who had a heart attack in 2016 and later suffered heart failure was the subject. After 10 patches of 400 million cells were implanted on the surface of her heart, her condition stabilised – allowing her to get a heart transplant
