Cambridge scientists have grown beating heart cells in the lab and shown how they are vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In a study published in , they used this system to show that an experimental peptide drug called DX600 can prevent the virus entering the heart cells. Using stem cells, we've managed to create a model which, in many ways, behaves just like a heart does, beating in rhythm.
