Artery cell discovery paves way for new heart disease treatment

Breakthrough by researchers at Stanford University could lead to therapy that would coax heart cells into forming new arteries
A radical new treatment for heart disease could be developed after scientists found cells that can grow into fresh arteries and restore blood supply to the organ.
The work paves the way for natural bypass therapies that coax heart cells into forming new arteries capable of re-routing blood around diseased and blocked blood vessels.
