Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery ...

Skeletal muscle and cardiovascular diseases continue to pose significant challenges to public health, affecting a wide range ...

Anatomically, cardiac rupture occurs at the intersection between injured and healthy cardiac tissue. This region is referred to as the borderzone. The conventional view is that increased mechanical ...

Heart disease may be the leading cause of death in the United States, but researchers from Emory University are working toward a solution. The team will leverage the International Space Station (ISS) ...

Heart failure is a leading cause of death and disability. Unfortunately, this affects millions of individuals and their loved ones. Ineffective heart function can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, ...

Now, in a study in zebrafish and human heart muscle cells, researchers show that a tiny deletion in the A-band of titin — the loss of just nine amino acids out of more than 27,000 to 35,000 amino ...

While current clinical trials for cardiac regeneration using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) ...

The human heart can grow new cells in damaged areas after suffering from a heart attack, an Australian study shows. Heart attacks occur when blood flow to the heart is severely reduced or blocked due ...

Mount Sinai's Cardiovascular Research Institute is sending bioengineered human heart muscle cells and micro-tissues into space for the first time on NASA's 29 th SpaceX commercial resupply services ...

Injecting human cardiac muscle cells into monkeys that suffered heart attacks helped the animals’ damaged hearts pump blood better, researchers report July 2 in Nature Biotechnology. The treatment is ...

The heart is the body's hardest-working muscle. Whether you're awake or asleep, or exercising or resting, your heart is always at work. It pumps blood through arteries to deliver oxygen to organs and ...
