No! more Broken heart


Yes folks you hear me ,no more broken heart what will they think of next,your not feeling well got the Docter dignoses broken heart he said no problem i can fix you up, first what kind insurance do you have?ops! sorry not covered no shit people they made a bandage for your heart in a lab in Ny,Ny.No shit this is what she said . "We joke that this is really 'a patch for a broken heart,'" said Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, professor of biomedical engineering at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, and co-director of the Tissue Engineering Resource Center at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.
She described the new technology at a special "Hybrid Technologies" symposium held Thursday in New York City, part of the Second International Conference on Cell Therapy for Cardiovascular Diseases.just my 2cents,much to do about nothing.Hearts affected by heart attack or congestive heart failure develop large areas of scar tissue that is essentially non-functioning. In the most serious cases, drugs are of little help, and demand for heart transplants far outstrip the supply of donor hearts.
"So, we are trying here to make heart tissue," Vunjak-Novakovic explained. The process mimics that seen in nature, with scientists replicating the cardiac environment inside a special tissue-growing chamber called a bioreactor.Now why should we be compare to a hybrid car,you tell me.any here is a pic.
