Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery of function. Heart attacks typically kill millions of cardiac muscle cells, leaving the heart in a weakened state.
