The study is a milestone for the clinical application of the "heart patch" as an innovative treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure at the University Medical Center Göttingen ...

In a major breakthrough, 15 patients suffering from heart failure – their hearts had stopped pumping effectively – were implanted with patches grown from stem cells. The lab-grown living ...

Damaged hearts could be mended using small "patches" of heart muscle grown in the lab, say scientists writing in Nature. The technology could give new hope to millions of people with advanced ...

Lab-grown 'patches' could provide a lifeline for the one million people in the UK suffering from heart failure. Around half the sufferers of the condition, which leaves the heart unable to pump ...

Scientists have developed lab-grown patches composed of beating heart muscle to aid patients with advanced heart failure. Tested successfully on animals and humans, the patches, made from donor ...

Researchers have shown that patches of muscle grown from stem cells can help to repair a failing heart, in a clinical trial that tested the procedure on a 46-year-old woman. The woman, who had a ...

An anticipated EHM dose-dependent thickening of the target heart wall was observed in macaques. Notably, the current study revealed that EHM patch implantation did not develop arrhythmia or ...

STEM cell patches can fix heart failure by regenerating the muscle, tests show. The treatment was found to increase the thickness of the heart wall, helping it to contract better to pump blood ...

A group of scientists may have revealed how to mend a broken heart. Researchers from Germany and the US have developed small patches that can be placed on damaged hearts to strengthen and rebuild ...

Damaged hearts could be mended using small "patches" of heart muscle grown in the lab, say scientists writing in Nature. The technology could give new hope to millions of people with advanced heart ...

A woman with a failing heart has been kept alive with the help of a new "breakthrough" stem-cell technology, scientists report. The 46-year-old woman had experienced a heart attack in 2016 and ...
