Dr. James T. Willerson, President and Medical Director: Texas Heart Institute and Professor and Edward Randall III Chair in Internal Medicine The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, Texas discusses recent advances using stem cells to heal damaged hearts.

Researchers from the Texas Heart Institute have found what they think is the best type of adult stem cell to heal the heart.

"One can distinguish individual stem cells and look at their ability to repair the heart after injury or to increase blood flow to the legs or coming up help repair strokes," said Dr. James T. Willerson.
