SINGAPORE - In the future, patients in need of a heart transplant could be spared the agonising wait for an organ donor.
A research breakthrough at the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) has paved the way for patients to use their skin cells to repair damaged heart tissue through a safer way than current methods.
Speaking at a media briefing yesterday, Associate Professor Philip Wong, director of NHCS' research and development unit, said the research could address the lack of donor hearts for patients here.
