Summary:
The Daily Democrat reports researchers discovered embryonic heart stem cells can be turned into adult heart cells:
"In a new study, UC Davis researchers report the first functional evidence that heart cells from human embryonic stem cells can be converted into adult heart cells. The finding gives scientists hope that these cells can one day be coaxed into becoming viable cells safe for transplant into damaged hearts, potentially avoiding a heart transplant."
