Description: 心臟是人體中再生功能最差的組織之一——這是導致心臟衰竭成爲世界第一殺手的重要原因之一。如果我們能在心臟肌肉受傷之後協助它再生呢？醫生兼科學家查克莫瑞分享了他的開創性研究，使用幹細胞來生成新的心臟細胞——這是實現幹細胞藥用令人振奮的一步。

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.
