Chinese scientists claim stem-cell breakthrough for injuries

One of the health issues associated with the COVID-19 virus since the pandemic began is heart problems. Among the heart problems are reduced ability to pump blood and abnormal heart rhythms.

Since early in the pandemic, COVID-19 has been associated with heart problems, including reduced ability to pump blood and abnormal heart rhythms.

A new study provides evidence that COVID-19 patients' heart damage is caused by the virus invading and replicating inside heart muscle cells, leading to cell death and interfering with heart muscle ...

Study reveals details of how coronavirus infects heart; models of tissue damage may help develop potential therapies. Since early in the pandemic, COVID-19 has been associated with heart problems, ...

Three oscillating proteins cause new muscle cells to emerge from muscle stem cells in a balanced manner. In a paper being published in the journal Nature Communications, a team led by MDC researcher ...

A hallmark of subclinical atherosclerosis is the accumulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC)-like cells leading to intimal thickening. While medial SMCs contribute, the participation of hedgehog ...

Hes1, MyoD, and Dll1 are proteins produced in progenitor cells in an oscillatory manner. They are involved in the Notch signaling pathway, a widespread mechanism by which cells respond to external ...

Using a somewhat controversial stem cell therapy, a joint team of Japanese and US-based researchers have successfully repaired some damage in 13 patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI).

When a muscle grows, because its owner is still growing too or has started exercising regularly, some of the stem cells in this muscle develop into new muscle cells.

The cell source and dynamics of Notch ligands during the regulation of muscle stem cells is unclear. Here, the authors show that the Notch ligand Dll1 has to oscillate in order to control the balance ...
