Ibrahim J. Domian, the first author on the paper and an HMS instructor, said color receptors were used to tag heart cells in a genetically-modified mouse embryo. This color-coding approach was used to identify and purify a rare daughter cell of a master heart stem cell that the researchers then used to make a an actual working heart muscle cell...
...like Saran Wrap, and when cells are put on top of it, they can be forced into a pattern,” Chien said. “We take cells we have isolated to form strips of functioning muscle. It’s like a Band-Aid for the heart, and cells line up just the way you want them...
Chien said this is the first time someone has been able to make a functional muscle in a mature conformation by facilitating the transition from a pluripotent embryonic stem cell—a cell that has the capacity to differentiate into any other cell type—to heart tissue...

With this potent blend of self-deprecation and arrogance, Dylan has managed to keep us laughing at his jokes without quite grasping the crux of the punchline for decades, making his latest musical endeavor, an album of holiday standards entitled “Christmas in the Heart,” just as puzzling as it is entertaining.
