On the strength of their hard work, researchers have re-programmed the fat cells of the human body to make it into a pacemaker cell of the heart, which can control the heart rate through rhythmic electric impulses. Researchers said that a new method of heart treatment has been discovered in this way. The research team also includes an Indian-origin researcher. The study, published in 'Molecular and Cellular Cardiology', suggests that a new pacemaker-like cell may become an alternative treatment for heart disease, and further expand the limits of current treatments such as artificial electronic pacemaker implants.

According to another study published in the Journal of Geriatric Cardiology about this case, each year more than one million artificial pacemakers are implanted in patients. This device is fitted in the chest. It keeps the heartbeat normal by electric impulse. However, from time to time it is necessary to check this device by doctors because there is a possibility that it may stop working after a while.
In the present study, Indian-origin researcher Suchi Raghunathan of Houston University of America, along with other researchers, converted stem cells into heart cells. These cells can also conduct electric currents. In a study earlier, researchers converted stem cells residing in fat cells of the human body into cardiac progenitor cells. In the present study, researchers discovered that the heartbeat could be maintained by re-programming cardiac progenitor cells.
