SUM UP.

Researchers at the Gregorio Maranon hospital in Madrid have been working on a new source of hearts for transplant years. The project consists of empty hearts of cardiac cells from deceased donors and leave them in the internal structure.

They have managed to sow small pieces of stem cell matrix and develop in the laboratory samples of heart tissue the size of a two Euro coin similar to those of the heart itself capable of beating synchronously properties. "They ordered electrical activity and proper contraction," said Francisco Fernández-Avilés, head of the cardiology department of the Madrid hospital and project coordinator.

OPINION.

As I said in other news, progress in health appears to me something indispenasble, because life is the most precious thing and we should learn to keep it.

I do not know a lot about stem cells, but the little I know, have the ability to regenerate tissues and cells.

VOCABULARY.

Stem cells = Células madre.
