New study shows promising results in treating heart conditions in children and adults by introducing new stem cells to the area. Israeli experts remain skeptical https://bit.ly/4gZ9ary *** Researchers at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI)’ in Melbourne developed an innovative approach by creating "beating heart models" under laboratory conditions. The process began by extracting white blood cells from humans. Prof. Kobi George, head of Kaplan Medical Center’s cardiology unit, explained: "This process converts blood or skin cells from patients back to their basic state as stem cells, which are then differentiated into heart cells. These cells can potentially be rebuilt and implanted into the damaged heart to improve its function." #Cardiology #Research #Hearth #Science #Tech #StemCells
