Scientists have developed an ‘injectable ‘ tissue bandage smaller than a postage stamp that can repair damaged hearts!
Repairing heart tissue destroyed by a heart attack or medical condition with regenerative cells usually requires invasive open heart surgery
Researchers at the university of Toronto have developed a technique that lets them use a small needle to inject a repair patch without the need to open up the chest cavity.
This ‘AngioChip’is a tiny patch of heart tissue with its own cells and blood vessels and beating with a regular rhythm.
Years of research & development helped produce this patch that could be injected rather than implanted!
