How does this experimental heart patch compare to other attempts at heart regeneration, and what are the limitations and challenges that still need to be addressed?

This research, published in Nature, demonstrates that lab-grown heart patches can integrate into human heart tissue, offering hope for the 99% of advanced heart failure patients ineligible for transplants. The patch, derived from umbilical cord cells, significantly improved one patient's cardiac output from 10% to 35%.
