Within the trial, which was a collaboration between Dr Roberto Bolli, MD, Chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Louisville and Dr Piero Anversa at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, the researchers used the patients own cardiac stem cells to regenerate dead heart muscle caused by a heart attack.
