A study led by a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Tucson's Sarver Heart Center identified ...

Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the first time, identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo.

Tempted to skip the floss? Your heart might thank you if you don't. A new study from Hiroshima University (HU) finds that the gum disease bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) can slip ...

Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes, is present in the heart. In this article, we discuss the structure and function of cardiac muscle tissue. We also cover medical ...

When KO/OEhiPSCs were differentiated into cardiomyocyte spheroids and implanted into the pig hearts that had undergone ischemia/reperfusion injury, the KO/OEhiPSC-cardiomyocyte implantation resulted ...

Since mammals cannot regenerate cardiac muscle cells on their own, heart transplants are currently the only clinically viable option for patients suffering (or likely to suffer) heart failure.

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 ...

Cell therapy for muscular dystrophy has met with limited success ... Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease affecting primarily skeletal and cardiac muscle, progressively limiting ...

We therefore hoped to trigger changes in gene activities by reprogramming energy metabolism to turn cell division ability back on in cardiac muscle cells." In further studies, the scientists were able ...

In a new study, stopping skeletal-muscle cancer cells from making a specific protein forced them to turn into healthy muscle cells. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
