Former patient funds study of adult stem cells
A former heart patient who underwent a bone marrow transplant in Germany is now funding a larger study to prove the effectiveness of the technique in healing damage caused by heart attacks. Another adult cell success.

Doctors have launched a trial to test whether heart disease can be treated using a patient's own stem cells.

The study, at Barts and the London NHS Trust, is funded by a charity set up by a man who underwent stem cell treatment for his heart condition in Germany.

The aim will be to determine whether adult stem cells taken from bone marrow can repair damaged heart muscle.

In total, 700 patients will take part in the study, which will test three different forms of stem cell therapy.
