BBC News - Cardiac cells 'heal heart damage':
'via Blog this'
Stem cells taken from a patient's own heart have, for the first time, been used to repair damaged heart tissue, researchers claim.
The study, published in the Lancet, was designed to test the procedure's safety, but also reported improvements in the heart's ability to pump blood.
The authors said the findings were "very encouraging"
Other experts said techniques with bone marrow stem cells were more advanced and that bigger trials were needed.
