The researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have created a milestone in the field of medicines. Recently, the team of researchers has showed that brain cell can be transferred to heart cell by using RNA, a chemical which helps in creating proteins.

It has been told that for the experiment, the researchers opened the pores in the cell membrane to transfer the cells. The findings of the study would help physicians to save lives of many by replacing or repairing the damaged heart cells with brain cells.

Moreover, the replacement of cells would also enable personalized screening for individual patients. The personalize screening would help the doctors to prescribe or suggest the best suitable treatment for the patient. It will also enable the doctors to ascertain the effect of the prescribed drugs on the patient’s heart and on all over health.

For decades, scientists have been working on finding ways of successfully transferring the cells. But this is for the first time when researchers have used a unique method to repair the damaged heart cells. Commenting upon the experiment, James Eberwine, a Pharmacology Professor said, “What's new about this approach for heart-cell generation is that we directly converted one cell type to another using RNA, without an intermediate step”.
