There will be time, the doctor sews the patient's heart is not in material created by any new technology, but by the skin of the patient. For the first time, the Israeli scientists have converted skin cells into heart cells healthy.

According to lead researcher Lior Gepstein, that heart cells "similar to the cardiac cells of new born baby." After creating heart cells from skin cells, scientists have raised them in shallow disk with real heart cells.
The researchers found that, after 24-48 hours, artificial heart cells lumped in with real heart cells and heart beat as usual. They then implanted the hybrid cells in healthy mice and found that the heart of a small mouse has adopted and plans connected with the hybrid cells.
The results of this study although extremely promising, but it took a long time for it to be applied in the hospital. Scientists believe that about 10-15 years before new clinical trials in humans. But if this method is effective, people with heart disease in the near future will not have to resort to medical equipment or implants to treat again. |
