According to a new study by the researchers at the Columbia University, it was revealed that they have found a new therapy which will patch the damaged heart with the help of an engineered tissue. The researchers have developed a new treatment method for myocardial infarction, damage after heart failure.

The new study was published in the 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' journal.

The research led by Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University, Gordana Vunjak—Novakovic, is one of the most leading researches to fight with the cardiovascular disease, which is one of the leading cause of deaths.

Mr. Novakovic said that they are very excited about the new treatment technology. He asserted, “This platform is very adaptable and we believe it could be readily extended to the delivery of other types of human stem cells we are interested in to rebuild the heart muscle”.

Researchers used the repaired cells to maximize their ability in order to improve the blood flow to the damaged heart tissue.

The new platform will enable the researchers to keep both the cells within the affected tissues and enhance cell survival and function, where most of the cells die due to the barrier of blood supply.
