A lab-grown beating pacemaker cell. McEwen Center for Regenerative Medicine. When such cells don’t work correctly, patients may have an electronic pacemaker implanted, but those devices can be ...

To study SARS-CoV-2’s effects on pacemaker cells in more detail and with human cells, the researchers showed that the induced human pacemaker cells express the receptor ACE2 and other factors ...

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

In pigs, scientists have succeeded in turning cardiac muscle cells into specialized pacemaker cells. Such technology could eventually replace electronic pacemakers, researchers say.

In the study, researchers injected a gene called Tbx18 into the pigs’ hearts.This gene, which is also found in humans, reprogrammed a small number of heart-muscle cells into cells that emit ...

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: 7 Things ...

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 ...
