On January 6, the journal Science published a study in which American scientists demonstrated a new way to reprogram T cells using mRNA preparations to attack fibroblasts in the heart. Injection of mRNA preparations in mice simulating heart failure successfully reprogrammed a large number of mouse T cells resulted in a significant reduction in the fibrosis of the animals' hearts and the restoration of much of normal heart function.
