Efforts to understand cardiac disease progression and develop therapeutic tissues that can repair the human heart are just a few areas of focus for the Feinberg research group at Carnegie Mellon ...

A new study suggests that certain conditions may prematurely age the heart. High blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and atrial fibrillation appeared to significantly age the heart muscle. The ...

Tracking and evaluating cardiac health are critical to catching heart problems early and finding helpful interventions. One study found that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may help determine ...

Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame seed-sized heart organoids, called cardioids, ...

Researchers engineered three-dimensional functional heart organoids resembling the developing heart. By exposing mouse embryonic stem cells to two key proteins during heart development, the ...

Heart development as it happens in vivo, or in a living organism, is a complex process that has traditionally been difficult to mimic in vitro, or in the laboratory. In a new study, researchers from ...

Certain conditions may accelerate how your heart ages. Reviewed by Dietitian Alyssa Pike, RDN A new study suggests that certain conditions may prematurely age the heart. High blood pressure, obesity, ...

Share on Pinterest The key to early intervention for cardiac problems may lie in determining the heart’s ‘true’ age, new research suggests. Sven Braun/picture alliance via Getty Images Tracking and ...

A new model mimics physiologic loads on engineering heart muscle tissues, yielding an unprecedented view of how genetics and mechanical forces contribute to heart muscle function. Efforts to ...
