A hospital in Japan has performed the world's first surgery using sheets of commercially available heart muscle stem cells, according to one of the surgeons involved. The groundbreaking therapy was approved earlier this year, and this operation marks the first time the ready-made cell sheets have been used in a patient. The procedure is being seen as a significant step for regenerative medicine in treating heart disease.

Why now: It is a world-first medical procedure using newly approved stem cell therapy, making it a major milestone in regenerative medicine.
