An international team of researchers has identified a protein that helps heart muscle cells regenerate after a heart attack. Researchers also showed that a patch loaded with the protein and... Read more
Engineers at the University of Toronto just made assembling functional heart tissue as easy as fastening your shoes. The team has created a biocompatible scaffold that allows sheets of beati... Read more
A little more than a decade ago, researchers discovered that all cells secrete tiny communications modules jammed with an entire work crew of messages for other cells. Today, a team of resea... Read more
Researchers have discovered a way to stimulate muscle regrowth in the heart of a mouse, opening up prospects of new treatments for the 55,000 Australians who suffer heart attacks each year R... Read more
For the first time, materials displaying muscle ‘memory’ have been developed The importance of muscle memory cannot be understated. A flautist repeatedly practising a sonata may initially st... Read more
By transforming human scar cells into blood vessel cells, scientists at Houston Methodist may have discovered a new way to repair damaged tissue. The method, described in an upcoming issue o... Read more
TAU researcher harnesses gold nanoparticles to engineer novel biocompatible cardiac patch Because heart cells cannot multiply and cardiac muscles contain few stem cells, heart tissue is unab... Read more
Dr James Chong says ‘very significant advance’ with macaque monkeys could soon be used to treat heart disease in humans An Australian cardiologist has achieved what could prove a major break... Read more
An ambitious 3D-printed heart project aims to make a natural organ replacement for patients possible within a decade. But the researcher heading the “moonshot” effort also believ... Read more
A functioning, transplantable tissue could not only save lives, but improve a patient’s quality of life overall. Heart tissue sustains irreparable damage in the wake of a heart attack.... Read more
RESEARCHERS AT THE HARVARD STEM CELL INSTITUTE have discovered a substance in the blood of young mice that reverses a major effect of aging in the hearts of old mice. The substance, called G... Read more
Duke University biomedical engineers have grown three-dimensional human heart muscle that acts just like natural tissue. This advancement could be important in treating heart attack patients... Read more
A team of bioengineers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) is the first to report creating artificial heart tissue that closely mimics the functions of natural heart tissue through t... Read more
The new work, with astonishing simplicity, creates pacemaker cells that closely resemble the native ones free from the risk of cancer. Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute researchers have reprogram... Read more
There’s no shortage of therapeutic possibilities for ITD-1 For years, scientists have been looking for a good source of heart cells that can be used to study cardiac function in the la... Read more
