No batteries required: Scientists are creating a biological pacemaker, by injecting a gene into the hearts of sick pigs that changed ordinary cardiac cells into a special kind that induce a steady heartbeat. The study, published Wednesday, is one step toward developing an alternative to electronic pacemakers that are implanted into 300,000 Americans a year."There are people who desperately need a pacemaker but can't get one safely," said Marban, who led the work. "This development heralds a new era of gene therapy" that one day might offer them an option. (AP Photo/Eric Myer, Cedars-Sinia)
