Physician-scientists are setting out to answer that question in a first-ever clinical trial of gene therapy to treat severe heart failure.<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/315012380" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/first-gene-therapy-heart-failure-offered-clinical-trials#comments Top stories clinical trial clinical trials gene therapy heart failure physician scientists http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/5440 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 21:30:23 -0500 admin 5440 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/stem-cells-might-contribute-vascular-disease <p>Physician-scientists believe that stem cells might play a harmful role in the body's reaction to trauma following common vascular surgery, like angioplasty. They are currently studying how stem cells implant themselves in the wall of arteries and grow out of control.<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/294334065" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/stem-cells-might-contribute-vascular-disease#comments Top stories angioplasty physician scientists stem cells vascular disease vascular surgery http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/4764 Tue, 20 May 2008 11:00:00 -0500 admin 4764 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
