Quote:
Scientists have shown that cells in the heart's outer layer can migrate deeper into a failing organ to carry out essential repairs.
The migration of progenitor cells is controlled by a protein called thymosin ß4, already known to help reduce muscle cell loss after a heart attack.
The discovery opens up the possibility of using the protein to develop more effective treatments for heart disease.
