Heart disease is often associated with blocked arteries or heart attacks, but not all heart conditions develop the same way.

In the late 1960s, three Weizmann Institute of Science researchers developed several protein-like molecules, called copolymers, that they believed would produce a disease similar to multiple sclerosis ...

Our heart muscle is studded with tiny dyads, intricately designed structures that manage incoming electrical signals and calcium release to coordinate our heartbeats. Could gene therapy help maintain ...

Amsterdam, NL, February, 26. 2015 - The muscular dystrophies are known to target various muscle groups differentially. In addition to making limb muscles weak, muscular dystrophy (MD) can also lead to ...

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 ...

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and ...

Now, in a study in zebrafish and human heart muscle cells, researchers show that a tiny deletion in the A-band of titin — the loss of just nine amino acids out of more than 27,000 to 35,000 amino ...

Researchers mapped 442,239 single nuclei from nonfailing human hearts to chart how cardiac cells change from fetal ...

Surviving a heart attack is only the beginning of the recovery journey. While many people expect to feel "back to normal" ...
