Heart Cell Regeneration
Heart Cell Regeneration
Italian and American Researchers demonstrated last year that heart muscle cells multiply after a heart attck, and now they have evidence that primitive cells travel to the new heart in a transplant patient and grow new muscle and blood vessels. The evidence comes from male transplant patients that received hearts from women; when male cells were discovered in the donated female hearts. This is the first evidence in humans that human hearts can regenerate. The regeneration is possible through stem cell-like primitive cells, which are master cells that can transform themselves into many types of tissue. The findings can possibly be used in the future to help patients with weak hearts recover.
The findings in this article will affect most men and women over 50 years old. This is when there is the greatest risk of heart disease. With the findings in the article, the risk of heart disease could be lowered, and the survival chance of a person that already has heart disease will be much higher.
In the future, I may be affected by the findings in this article. The number of people with heart disease has been rising, and it is the leading cause of death in America. With the findings in the article, the chance of dying from heart disease could be lowered drastically, and my generation might not have to worry about heart disease.

"monarch1176";"Human Rights";"Human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent. Human rights are what make us human. When we speak of the right to life, or development, or to dissent and diversity, we are speaking of tolerance. Tolerance will ensure all freedoms. Without it, we can be certain of none.
The raging ethnic cleansing in Kosovo is an example of intolerance. The Serbians will not tolerate the Albanians at any cost. They are forcing them from their homes, turning the streets into killing fields. This civil war seems unstoppable because of the intolerance of one race against another. No respect for individual rights, basic human rights.
Another example is right in our own back yard. I am speaking of hate crimes which plague our society. They are no different today than centuries ago when slavery was allowed. One race against another. One religion against another, it is all the same. Hate is the opposite of tolerance. We can only live together through an expression of tolerance of the differences each of us...
