Pill to mend a broken heart 'deveoped by scientists'

 "British-based researchers claim they may be just a decade away from perfecting a way to persuade the heart to rejuvenate – a process thought to be impossible just five years ago.
That means that when a heart attack occurs, the muscles and blood vessels around the organ could rebuild themselves – massively reducing long term damage and improving the quality of life of the victim.
The researchers at University College London have discovered that a protein known as thymosin Beta 4, key to heart growth in the young, appears to reawaken dormant stem cells in the organ of adults.
They now hope to begin human trials in a few years after experiments on mice showed that it improved the performance of the heart by as much as 25 per cent."
