Excuse the \u201cewww\u201d moment, but your heart is strong enough to squirt blood 30 feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And yet, the heart can and does go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, once damaged, there\u2019s no definitive cure that can completely restore the heart\u2019s function to what it was before.<\/p>\n<p>For example, heart attacks present great challenges for researchers and doctors. Why? Because they damage the heart muscle, making it less efficient at pumping blood through the circulatory system. Lost muscle is replaced by scar tissue, leaving patients with a reduced cardiac function, which can often lead to heart failure \u2013 where it can no longer meet the body\u2019s demand for blood flow.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, one impairment can set off a chain of harmful events.<\/p>\n<p>Once heart cells are damaged, they cannot be replaced by the body. Heart disease can be managed, but not completely cured. The heart doesn\u2019t go back to normal or heal in the same way a broken bone or cut does.<\/p>\n<p>This is where regenerative medicine steps up \u2013 an area of medicine that could literally transform our health in ways we could never imagine. And the great news is that considerable progress is already being made.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Section 3 &#8211; (What is regenerative medicine?)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Title: What is regenerative medicine?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]\n<h3><strong>What is regenerative medicine?<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text: (Regenerative medicine examines&#8230;)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]\n<p>Regenerative medicine examines numerous ways to repair, or literally <em>regenerate<\/em> damaged areas of the body.<\/p>\n<p>Exciting ongoing experiments at the University of Cambridge involve growing patches of real heart tissue in a dish.

The result is a \u201cpatch\u201d of heart tissue that contracts in the same way as a heart does when it beats. Literally, it\u2019s a heart muscle with a pulse in a petri dish (these muscles are called <em>cardiomyocytes<\/em>, in case you were wondering). Incredibly, they all beat in unison, in the same way a living muscle would do.<\/p>\n<p><em>Scientists can then graft the patch over damaged areas of the heart to help repair it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here, they use both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cam.ac.uk\/research\/features\/patching-up-a-broken-heart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">embryonic and artificially created stem cells<\/a>, giving them a particular mix of proteins that stimulates development into heart muscle and epicardial cells.<\/p>\n<p>The cells are then put onto a sort of \u201cscaffold\u201d made from collagen and incubate them for two weeks or so.<\/p>\n<p>Equally, heart experts have been working on ways to grow new blood vessels, helping to improve blood flow into affected areas of the heart.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still a lot of work to do, but the future for stem cell therapy is right here, right now.
