Using mice as test subjects, the eight-member team of researchers implanted early differentiated cells into the myocardium, a part of the heart that is often damaged in heart attacks. Mice were injected with stem cells that either contained or did not contain a gene known to produce a protein that promotes blood vessel growth...
Yong Fu Xiao, the senior researcher on the team, said the study has far-reaching consequences for those suffering from myocardial infarction (MI), a heart condition common in heart attack victims characterized by an insufficient presence of blood vessels within the myocardium...
...chest four times, and on mine twice. Cheney has had one multiple-bypass operation; I have had two of them. We have both had angioplasties, with stents. A couple of years ago, I drew ahead of Cheney in the fancy-therapy category by having DNA injected into my myocardium in order to induce the growth of new vessels--angiogenesis, a still experimental but highly promising technique that has, in my case, worked miraculously well...
