Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, 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 ...

Millions of people around the world die from heart failure every year. In future, a laboratory-grown heart patch could help with severe cases of cardiovascular disease, say scientists behind a ...

Dr. Chaudhry and her team wanted to know if they could reawaken the heart's ability to regenerate itself by using a naturally occurring pathway that enables cardiomyocyte (heart muscle) cell division ...

Diabetes doesn’t just coexist with heart disease - it actively reshapes the heart’s machinery and the way it makes energy.
