Many heart patients in need of a transplant will die waiting for a new organ to become available. Taylor says bio artificial hearts for humans could be made from pig organs because the hearts are about the same size. But the researchers say if human hearts can be made from animal organs they could save lives.
What we were able to show is that we could take a previously dead heart that we removed all the cells from and really reanimate that with new cells she said. Taylor says these ghost hearts or scaffolds were re populated by infusing them with progenitor cells that have a capacity for self renewal and differentiation much like stem cells.
