The heart does have limited regenerative capacity, but not enough of the healthy cells that capable of restoring function, making it difficult to recover from injuries such as myocardial infarction. However, cell-based therapies are intended to leverage those healthy cells via transplant to regenerate damaged tissue.

Experiments performed with the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae not only led to the discovery of DNA as the principal hereditary molecule but also yielded early tools for genetic engineering. The study of RNA tumor viruses revealed reverse transcriptase , an enzyme integral in studying RNA biology. Subscribe to Asimov Press.
