Skin cells can heal injured heart: Study

Washington: Usually after a heart attack, the heart is unable to replace its dead cells and patients are often left with little option of another heart transplant or cell therapy that transplants heart cells into the patient's heart.
In far too many cases, however, the transplanted heart cells do not engraft well, resulting in poor recovery.
One reason for the engraftment problem is the quality of the heart cells. For a typical cell therapy, heart cells are made from different stem cells, but the quality of the heart cells will vary.
