This unexpected ability opens the door for scientists to stimulate cellular mitosis and improve heart function after an ...

A Tokyo-based startup said transplants of cardiac muscle cells that it engineered from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells ...

For decades, cardiology textbooks treated heart damage as permanent, a grim one-way street from heart attack to heart failure ...

ACM impedes the heart from pumping blood to the rest of the body, and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young ...

An enduring challenge for bioengineering researchers is the failure of the heart to regenerate muscle tissue after a heart attack has killed part of its muscle wall. That dead tissue can strain the ...

A research team at the University of California San Diego has discovered a novel and promising method of treating arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a rare inherited heart disease that can strike ...

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 ...

Zhou’s study, "TBX20 improves contractility and mitochondrial function during direct human cardiac reprogramming," was recently published in Circulation. The most common cause of death worldwide is ...

New evidence reveals adult human hearts can regrow muscle cells after myocardial infarction, opening new possibilities for ...

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 ...
