For the first time, from the stem cells of the embryos, a human cardiac tissue has been produced in the laboratory. The research has been carried out at the Israel Institute of Technology Technion, and they say that this tissue will not only serve to replace damaged tissues, but also to test new drugs, carry out genetic research and study the factors that affect the heart.
