Scientists Turn Skin Cells Into Beating Heart Muscle
An anonymous reader writes "By taking skin cells and turning them into stem cells, a technique that is already well known, researchers at Technion Israel Institute of Technology were able to generate beating heart cells — a medical first. 'We have shown that it's possible to take skin cells from an elderly patient with advanced heart failure and end up with his own beating cells in a laboratory dish that are healthy and young — the equivalent to the stage of his heart cells when he was just born,' Lior Gepstein, study author and professor of medicine said."
No, I have not done my suicide bombing of the day. I have not behaved as an aggressive uneducated imbecile either (Unlike you). Instead, I have behaved in a polite way, even to people that do not deserve it. Unlike the Israelis, I have not killed women nor children to steal their land and unlike you, I can write proper English without the need to show lack of education nor bad manners using vulgarities and profanity.
