Researchers transform skin cells into beating heart tissue
ASNC SmartBrief | May 23, 2012
Israeli researchers converted skin cells from patients with heart failure into healthy and functioning heart tissue, according to a study in the European Heart Journal. The team added valproic acid and three genes to the nuclei of the skin cells. "We have shown that it's possible to take skin cells from an elderly patient with advanced heart failure and end up with his own beating cells in a laboratory dish that are healthy and young -- the equivalent to the stage of his heart cells when he was just born," according to the lead researcher from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
