Adult pig stem cells show promise in repairing animals' heart attack damage
13th Nov 2006, 21:22 GMT
Johns Hopkins scientists have successfully grown large numbers of stem cells taken from adult pigs' healthy heart tissue and used the cells to repair some of the tissue damage done to those organs by lab-induced heart attacks. Pigs' hearts closely resemble those in humans, making them a useful model in such research.
