Genetic tracking used to create Covid vaccines is now being adapted to help regenerate hearts damaged from cardiac arrests. Scientists at King's College London have tracked genetic codes called mRNAs which produce proteins to generate healthy heart cells. The ground-breaking research could lead to the world's first cure for heart attack victims, The Times reports. The heart has no capacity to repair itself after a heart attack. Across the UK, around 100,000 people are hospitalised each year after a heart attack - caused by a blocked blood supply to the heart.
