Mayo Clinic researchers developed a stem cell patch to heal damaged hearts without open-heart surgery. The patch, made from reprogrammed adult stem cells and delivered via a tiny incision, restored heart function in preclinical tests, offering hope for heart failure patients. This regenerative approach aims to repair hearts by replacing lost muscle tissue, potentially reducing the need for transplants and improving outcomes for fragile patients.
