We get so overloaded with negative news every day I thought it would be good to add a good news Tid Bits each month. There are so many exciting developments happen right now that you never hear about.
Patch renews damaged heart
A new type of patch promises to reinvigorate damaged hearts. Brown University researchers have created a nanopatch with carbon nanofibers and a polymer. The carbon nanofibers work well because they’re good conductors, performing electrical connections that a heart relies on to keep a steady beat. In lab tests, the patch was shown to restore areas that had been damaged by a heart attack. The idea is to put something where the dead tissue is to help regenerate it, eventually restoring the heart to health, the scientists said.
