Researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborating institutions have developed a non-invasive approach to manipulate cardiac tissue activity by using light to stimulate an innovative ink ...

A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to now, but also heal them. An interdisciplinary team led by ETH Zurich has ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered how tiny particles released by a special type of immune cell can ...

The heart begins to age from the moment of birth. A new study using the largest cardiac gene map ever assembled has confirmed ...

Accurately measuring electrical signals and calcium levels in the heart can lead to earlier treatment of potentially fatal conditions, such as heart attack or congestive heart failure. Calcium plays ...

Therapeutic interventions to replenish lost cardiomyocytes and recover myocardium functions following ischemic myocardial infarction (MI) remain major goals in the cardiac regeneration field. Clinical ...

Internal organ tissues often don’t heal after illness or injury and lose some function, such as the heart after a heart attack. UCLA cardiologists have identified a protein that interferes with ...

As we age, our tissues undergo a profound transformation, losing mass and becoming less elastic and increasingly stiff. The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides structural and biochemical support to ...

A handful of scientists from ETH Zurich have developed a 3D printable patch known as the RCPatch (or Reinforced Cardiac Patch) that can help repair heart damage by integrating with the existing tissue ...

A drug previously developed at UCLA to help heart tissue repair itself after a heart attack might also help kidney tissue repair and regenerate, researchers have found.

Researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborating institutions have developed a non-invasive approach to manipulate cardiac tissue activity by using light to stimulate an innovative ink ...
