Mouse stem cells used to heal sheep hearts
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Researchers have successfully implanted mouse stem cells into sheep who suffered a heart attack, resulting in healthier hearts for the sheep and an important step forward in research on embryonic stem cells.
Researchers at the National Centre for Scientific Research in Montpellier, France and the European Hospital Georges Pompidou in Paris transplanted mouse cells into 9 sheep that had suffered a heart attack.
A month later the sheep had healthier hearts than a control group of animals that hadn' received the cell transplant, the scientists said.
The finding strengthens the possibility the technique will be used one day to treat heart disease in humans.
