Heart repair and regeneration after a heart attack

Twenty years ago, clinicians first attempted to regenerate a failing human heart by injecting muscle myoblasts into the heart during a bypass operation. Despite high initial hopes and multiple experimental and clinical studies since then, outcomes have been neutral or marginally positive for a wide variety of attempts to remuscularize an injured heart. Yet hope remains that current and future strategies will yield clinical regenerative heart therapies, experts explain.
