Bloomberg News reports on a new stem cell treatment for heart attack patients developed by adult stem cell company Osiris Therapeutics, Inc.:
"Osiris Therapeutics Inc.'s easy-to- administer stem cell treatment helped patients recover after a heart attack and eased their symptoms in a study. The cells were given intravenously to patients who had a heart attack within the past 10 days, researchers said.
