This blog is new. I am quickly finding out that blog topics are easy to find. The amount of work required to put the ideas into words is significant though. As a way to keep the posts coming, I am going to have a blog series with common themes. This blog is the inagural post for Dr. Coffee's Innovation Awards. Basically, it will be a series of posts covering outstanding, contemporary discoveries or innovations.
This post comes from Yahoo News concerning a recent discovery involving a new type of human cardiac stem cells capable of growing heart tissue. According to the article, the stem cells can be used to create portions of working heart muscle outside of the human body within laboratory conditions. The future hope is using a heart attack patient's own cadiac stem cells to create new working heart tissue. It would then be possible to easily replace damaged tissue without biological rejection.
Now, if they could only find adult human brain stem cells.
