London, Nov 3: Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new technique that may one day help in mending damaged heart tissues.

The team has developed a novel scaffold, on which it claims to place living heart cells or stem cells that would later develop into a patch of cardiac tissue that could be used to treat congenital heart defects, or aid the recovery of tissue damaged by a heart attack.

The biodegradable scaffold would be gradually absorbed into the body, leaving behind new tissue.

When Julius Caesar arrived off the coast of Britain with his hundred-ship force in August, 55 B. C., he was greeted by a host of defenders poised to hurl spears down on his invading army from the towering Dover cliffs.

Seeking a better landing site, he sailed on a strong afternoon current and landed his troops at a beach seven miles away, according to his own account.
