The heart muscle patches are grown from millions of human stem cells Damaged hearts could be mended using small "patches" of heart muscle grown in the lab, say scientists writing in Nature.

STEM cell patches can fix heart failure by regenerating the muscle, tests show. The treatment was found to increase the thickness of the heart wall, helping it to contract better to pump blood ...
