Scientists have developed lab-grown heart muscle patches that could help repair damaged hearts, offering hope to patients with advanced heart failure. These patches, made from stem cells, are stitched onto the heart to support its function. Early trials in monkeys and one human patient have shown promising results, with no safety concerns. However, long-term effectiveness remains uncertain, and a clinical trial involving 15 patients is ongoing. While heart transplants are rare, these patches could become a viable treatment if further studies confirm their benefits. Larger trials are needed to assess their full potential.
