KEY POINTS:
People with heart disease or badly broken bones have been given new hope after scientists discovered a way to "supercharge" the body's healing system. Researchers at Imperial College London have developed a technique that boosts the number of repair cells released by the body after a major injury or disease. The discovery means more than 100 times the amount of cells are released, and the scientists hope the breakthrough could lead to speedier recoveries from injuries and organ failures.
