Doctors at Temple University Hospital will attempt to use stem cells to regenerate a man’s damaged heart. “We’re able to isolate cells that specifically become heart muscle cells and blood vessel cells,” said Jon George, a Temple cardiologist. The cells also appear to heal the damage caused by a heart attack. The treatment is several years away from becoming widely available.
