Building a New Heart From Old Tissue

Eric wu submitted, created time 2 years 2 months (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)

Approximately 3000 patients in the United States are on the waiting list for a heart transplant, but only about 2000 donor organs become available each year.

This article put forward a new method to solve the life-and-death problem.It includes two pivotal factors:The first one is that we need to find an appropriate stem cell that can give rise to heart tissue;The second one is that the cells require a framework, or scaffolding, to grow on.

Do you think it is feasible to resolve the difficult medical problem?
