A heart surgery. Heart failure is a disease attacking the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every year. Find out how to restore the heart tissue damaged by heart failure is the goal of many researchers. Recently, experts from Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Israel took skin cells from two elderly patients with heart failure, mix them with some genes and chemicals to form a mixture.
After being raised in the laboratory, this mixture has developed into a secondary structure is identical to the heart muscle tissue healthy. When the researchers implanted artificial heart muscle tissue in the heart of the mouse, we quickly connected to the surrounding tissue. "Our study demonstrated that we can take skin cells of elderly people and turn them into heart tissue young, healthy," Professor Lior Geipstein, who led the study, said. Geipstein and colleagues hope the achievements of the group will be applied to the treatment of heart failure in the near future. "Due to the implanted cardiac tissue is produced from the patient's skin cells to tissue rejection will not happen," he said. However, Geipstein admitted that the group will be studied further before testing artificial heart tissue in the human body.
