There’s now, and finally, a Cleveland hospital using the patient’s own stem cells to use in healing his own cardiac conditions. Before this, the procedure was performed in Bangkok, making it a very long trip for American cardiac patients to take.

With this procedure occurring now, it’s only a matter of time before other organs can be repaired in the same manner. Good news indeed.

I agree with your comments. Did you read that article the other day here, where they addressed the tip of a finger (about 1/4 inch) being induced to grow back? The fingernail and all came back. The article went on to address other tissues that could be helped in this manner including heart tissue and other areas of interest.

It was a great read, providing a lot of hope for the future.
