Existing methods of treatment are not quite effective in repairing
damaged heart muscle in end-stage cardiovascular diseases.
New research suggests that stem cells can regenerate into
heart cells. Nandini Patwardhan traces the significance

of drug administration to patients in the clinic. It is also
the most appropriate method of administering some test items
to laboratory animals during preclinical safety assessment
of novel drug candidates. Ian Bunn and Kai Blumbach explore
the intricacies.
