Future therapies for failing hearts are likely to include stem-like cells and associated growth factors that regenerate heart muscle. Now, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have just taken an important step towards that future by identifying a stem-like progenitor cell that produces only heart muscle cells.  The team state that they have defined the progenitor cell that is committed to making heart muscle and … Continue reading Heart regeneration a step closer as researchers identify progenitor cell exclusively for heart muscle.
