Research by scientists at the University of London Medical Center published in the journal Cardiovascular Interventions has shown that magnets can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases.

The researchers successfully tested this method for mice. The experiment was carried out by attaching microscopic, microscopic magnets - only visible through a microscope, into stem cells, which were used to attach to the damaged part of the heart due to pain. heart or some other disease caused.

Next, the scientists used a large external magnet to ' guide ' stem cells that were placed in the right position of the damaged heart. According to scientists, this method is 5 times more accurate than previous traditional cell transplantation methods.

However, the results are only validated in mice. According to Dr. Mark Lythgoe, the lead author of the study, at least 3 years, even 5 years before it can be tested and applied this special technique to people with heart disease.

In addition, Dr. Mark Lythgoe also suggested that this method can also be used in cell transplants in some other organs of the human body such as skin cells or blood .
