For the first time, it has been proven that heart cells regenerate after a heart attack
Researchers from Australia have presented compelling evidence that heart muscle cells are capable of regeneration after a heart attack. It was previously believed that as a result of such events, cells die, and tissues lose their integrity. The death of heart muscle cells has long been considered a key factor leading to reduced functionality of this organ, which becomes less effective at pumping blood after a heart attack. However, new research has demonstrated that while a heart attack does
