New study reveals how influenza virus infiltrates heart tissue via specialised immune cells, triggering damaging interferon ...

A woman with a failing heart has been kept alive with the help of a new "breakthrough" stem-cell technology, scientists report. The 46-year-old woman had experienced a heart attack in 2016 and ...

Scientists have created a three-dimensional "heart-on-a-chip" (HOC) that could provide a breakthrough in the fight against the world's leading cause of death, cardiovascular disease. One major ...

An expert panel is set to discuss whether Japan's health ministry should approve two products using iPS cells. The treatments ...

When heart muscle gets damaged, the result is often permanent. Unlike other muscles in the body, the heart has long been believed to lack the ability to heal itself. But recent research suggests that ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

3D heart on a chip technology: Scientists have created a groundbreaking 3D heart-on-a-chip. This lab-grown tissue beats and ...

The heart is a very resilient muscle. Scientists observed heart muscle cells regenerating in mice studies after a heart attack. Their heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, were observed dividing ...

Scientists obtained stem cells expressing cardiac muscle-specific genes and proteins. The cells displayed regular rhythmic contractions similar to a heart, confirming that they were functional ...

A team of researchers led by Emory’s Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow -and survive in the microgravity environment of space. Her findings, published in Biomaterials, show ...
