    • Abstract:
      This article reports on the possibility of using stem cells to grow human heart cells. Embryonic stem cells could be used to repair hearts damaged after a heart attack. Dr. Gordon Keller of the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine believes the main challenge is getting the heart to accept the new cells. Dr. Christopher Glover has been trying a different method; to provoke the body into producing more of its own stem cells.
