...syringes filled with either blood serum containing stem cells from Johnson's own bone marrow or just blood serum - as part of the experiment, neither patient nor doctor knows which - and injects them directly into Johnson's heart through a catheter threaded into the main artery in his left thigh. Mathur hopes the $5.5 million, four-year study will help clarify whether stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow can repair a failing heart.
