For 15 years, scientists have been putting stem cells into patients' hearts in hopes of regenerating injured muscle and improving heart function. A new study may finally debunk the idea behind the controversial procedure, showing that the beneficial effects are caused not by the rejuvenating properties of stem cells, but by the body's wound-healing response.
