Summary:

A new study found transplanting immature human bone marrow cells into hearts damaged months or years earlier by a heart attack can help that heart beat more efficiently.

Commentary: Hopefully this new stem cell treatment will be proven effective in preventing heart failure in a large and heterogenous patient population.
