Michael Gotthardt at the Max Delbrück Center and collaborators are developing a drug to treat a common type of heart failure ...

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 ...

Heart attacks trigger a cascade of reactions in the body, and certain immune cells may worsen the damage by disrupting heart ...

A team at Massachusetts General Hospital uncovered that an immune defense protein, Resistin-like molecule gamma, attacks ...

Researchers corrected lamin A gene mutations, preventing skeletal and cardiac abnormalities and extending mice lifespans.

Heart disease may be the leading cause of death in the United States, but researchers from Emory University are working toward a solution. The team will leverage the International Space Station (ISS) ...

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

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 ...

Anatomically, cardiac rupture occurs at the intersection between injured and healthy cardiac tissue. This region is referred to as the borderzone. The conventional view is that increased mechanical ...

Injecting human cardiac muscle cells into monkeys that suffered heart attacks helped the animals’ damaged hearts pump blood better, researchers report July 2 in Nature Biotechnology. The treatment is ...

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 ...
