Hope for a Broken Heart?
نویسنده
چکیده
Heated debate has surrounded the issue of whether adult stem cells can differentiate into cardiac myocytes and contribute to the function of the heart.

These findings should weigh heavily in future debates about the existence of stem cells in the adult heart and their capacity for functional repair after injury.
