Executive Summary
Scientists from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, say they have become the first to successfully grow the precursors of heart cells from human embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can proliferate far more than stem cells derived from adult tissues and can, therefore, produce the many million of cells needed to repair organs, say the researchers, whose findings appear in the Journal of Clinical Investigation (August).
