   08-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   When human heart muscle cells derived from embryonic stem cells are implanted into a rat after a heart attack, they can help rebuild the animal's heart muscle and improve function of the organ, scientists report in the September issue of Nature Biotechnology. The researchers also developed a new process that greatly improves how stem cells are turned into heart muscle cells and then survive after being implanted in the damaged rat heart.

   Mayo Clinic Cancer Center researchers have found that chaetocin, a by-product of a common wood mold, has promise as a new anti-myeloma agent. Results of their study, being presented today at the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting, show the by-product to be more effective than currently used therapies at killing multiple myeloma cells.

9. Enhancing Regeneration: Animal Study Suggests Novel Way To Reverse Heart-attack Damage
   10-11-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Cardiology researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have shown that it may be possible to reduce tissue injury after a heart attack and preserve heart function by using techniques of regenerative medicine. Working with rats, they got heart-muscle cells to multiply, minimized scarring and boosted the heart's pumping ability after a simulated myocardial infarction. Findings will appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
