Scientists from the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine, University Health Network, have developed the first functional pacemaker cells from human stem cells, paving the way for alternate, ...

Scientists have turned human stem cells into functional pacemaker cells that can trigger a rat’s heart to beat — a potential first step toward making a biological pacemaker. There’s a ...

A New York-based team of researchers explored the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the pacemaker cells of the heart. To do this, they used both a hamster model and human embryonic stem cell (ESC ...

Scientists have successfully transformed guinea-pig heart-muscle cells into pacemaker cells, paving the way for a biological alternative to artificial pacemakers. Pacemaker cells generate ...

Pacemakers monitor the heart rate and send an electrical jolt to force contraction when the heartbeat is delayed; they stand in for the heart's natural pacemaker, a cluster of cells in the right ...

Still, “I give [the researchers] enormous credit for looking for short-term solutions, and enormous credit for the advancement to actually differentiate these cells into pacemaker cells.” ...

Scientists at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute have successfully reprogrammed ordinary heart cells to become exact replicas of so-called “pacemaker” heart cells. Such replica cells could ...

Making this pacemaker involves injecting a gene into heart muscle cells, which transforms these normal heart cells into special cells that can initiate a heartbeat. [Heart of the Matter ...
