After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs.

An immediate early publication of the journal Cell, published by Cell Press, on Nov. 22, 2006 points to the possible existence of master cardiac stem cells with the capacity to produce all three ...

Patients' own heart stem cells improved heart function in a clinical trial. Nov. 14, 2011— -- For the first time, stem cells from patients' own hearts have been shown to battle heart failure.

Most treatments for heart failure can only slow it down or ease your symptoms. Soon, it may be possible to fix what causes it. Doctors are testing whether stem cells can repair or replace damaged ...

For 15 years, scientists have put various stem cells into seriously ill patients’ hearts in hopes of regenerating injured muscle and boosting heart function. A new mouse study may finally debunk ...

For decades, the human heart has been perceived as a tireless engine, working vigorously yet unable to self-repair. But this paradigm is shifting radically with the advent of stem cells ...

LOS ANGELES — It’s one of the most vexing problems in medical science: How can you mend a broken heart? A decade ago, researchers and cardiologists thought they had found an answer in stem cells.

A new study finds that stem cell therapy may harm heart disease patients. Patients with severe and end-stage heart failure have few treatment options available to them apart from transplants and ...

Cardiac stem cell infusions could someday help reverse the aging process in the human heart, making older ones behave younger, according to a new study from the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute.

With age, the chromosomes of our cardiac stem cells compress as they move into a state of safe, semiretirement. The typically long, coiled strand of DNA inside each youthful stem cell gets shorter ...

H eart muscle cells grown from stem cells show promise in monkeys with a heart problem that typically results from a heart defect sometimes present at birth in humans, according to new research ...

“Neonatal cardiac-derived mesenchymal stem cells have been used in a clinical trial to repair an injured heart, but this is the first time these potent cells have been studied in an inflammatory ...
