A flexible silicon mesh has been created by the researchers of the University of Chicago in the US, which when activated by the flashes of light, produces a tiny electrochemical effect which can stimulate the heart muscle in a unique way.
Heart stem cells that might repair the heart muscle after a heart attack do not exist in adults, say researchers after two decades of study.
Presented by Duke cardiologists, the study shows that the newer method carries a much lower cost, potentially saving each patient at least U$800.
After a heart attack, there is a dramatic loss of these heart muscle cells and those that survive cannot effectively replicate.
New heart cells keep forming in kids and adolescents too
A gene that can help heart cells correct erratic rhythms
