Heart diseases rising: ‘Lab-grown’ hearts and gene editing are the future, top American cardiologist reveals
We’re familiar with lab-grown diamonds, but what about ‘lab-grown hearts’? It might sound like a scene from a science fiction movie, yet soon, lab-grown hearts could be saving transplant patients. Scientists are even exploring ways to ‘edit’ faulty genes to shield you from inherited heart conditions. As heart diseases are on the rise, the scientists are looking at novel approaches to tackle it. Here's take a look at how the future of heart care would look like.
