Heart disease is the world's leading killer, claiming millions of lives each year and costing over $100 billion annually in the United States alone. The human heart cannot naturally regenerate after a heart attack, leaving patients with lasting damage and declining function. New research shows that pluripotent stem cells can be transformed into heart muscle and transplanted to repair the injured heart. This advance could move heart regeneration from science fiction to everyday medicine, offering hope to millions.
