He also said the breakthrough
could lead to the replacement of
damaged or deteriorating tissue in
other human organs as well as the
heart.
Nag, 42, said his research is a long
way from completion and it may be
five years before researchers learn
to regenerate human heart cells.
NAG DETERMINED that an in-
jured frog's heart could repair itself
in experiments that confirmed the
presence of the three basic
ingredients, DNA, mitosis, and con-

To determine if the same process
was possible for a mammal's heart,
Nag and two associates treated
damaged heart cells of an adult rat
with embryonic heart cells from a
rat fetus.
The fetal cells began growing into
new and healthy cardiac tissue on
the damaged heart and there was no
rejection - a common problem in
organ transplants - by the mature
cells, Nag said.



plan to get second review

Ann Arbor), said, "We were told last
month ... that there would be an ap-
proval early in August. Something is
changed. I would like to know what's
changed."
Smith then told Baker that the
University would risk waiting out a
court battle between the state public
health department and its regional
planning group, if a delay was unaccep-
table.
Regent Thomas Dunn (D-Lansing),
said he would support this post-
ponement, but no further delays. He
said if the Regents were asked to put off
the project again, he would expose the
politics behind the hospital approval
process.
"I am prepared to state publicly
some of the politics that go on" with the
regional planning group and the Depar-'

tment of Public Health, he said.
Regional health planners of the Com-
prehensive Health Planning Council for
Southeastern Michigan (CHPC) serve
in an advisory role to the state public
health department in the review and
approval of hospital construction
projects. The review process is
designed to ensure that a new hospital
is needed, so that superfluous hospital
beds do not contribute to the rising cost
of medical care.
Regional planners have voiced con-
cern that if the University's project is
approved, they will face great difficulty
as they force hospital mergers in
Detroit, in order to reduce the surplus
of hospital beds there.
The planners are responsible for im-
plementing a hospital bed reduction
plan in Southeastern Michigan.
However, they do not have final say on
new construction approval; that power
rests with state officials.
