Scientists obtained stem cells expressing cardiac muscle-specific genes and proteins. The cells displayed regular rhythmic contractions similar to a heart, confirming that they were functional ...

Scientists have discovered a way to regenerate damaged heart muscle cells in mice, a development which may provide a new avenue for treating congenital heart defects in children and heart attack ...

A woman with heart failure was kept alive long enough to receive a heart transplant, in part thanks to newly developed stem-cell-derived heart tissue grafts. When you purchase through links on our ...

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 ...

Sustainable engraftment of heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) can be achieved by implanting patches of engineered heart muscle onto the surface of the heart under immune suppression. Evidence from ...

A research team reported recently that heart muscle cells grown from induced pluripotent stem cells can integrate into the hearts of monkeys with a state of pressure overload. Heart muscle cells grown ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

Millions of people around the world die from heart failure every year. In future, a laboratory-grown heart patch could help with severe cases of cardiovascular disease, say scientists behind a ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is a common but potentially lethal heart disease. While researchers have tried for decades to understand the contribution of the many genes linked to the condition ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...
