Summary:
Researchers report promising results from clinical trials to test whether injections of bone marrow cells can repair heart attack damage. Three studies show that a mixture of cells obtained from a patient's own bone marrow can offer a benefit to patients -- even if doctors don't yet know how best to use the treatments, in which patients, or at what time. However, researchers caution that, for the new approach to be fully developed, researchers will have to find out exactly which -- if any -- of the bone marrow cells repair the heart.
Commentary: Hopefully these results will be successfully replicated and proven an effective treatment for heart damage.
